I should have worded this better considering the testcase literally contains
SLP in the name...
The failure is for the XFAIL
/* { dg-final { scan-tree-dump-times "vectorizing stmts using SLP" 1 "vect" {
xfail { vect_widen_sum_hi_to_si_pattern || { ! vect_unpack } } } } } */
And my understanding as to what is happening is that without epiloque no mask
it would only try HI modes, but thanks to the epiloques nomask
It tries QI mode as well which succeeds. The xfail then generates an xpass
since the condition on it checks for HI to SI and not QI.
So I disabled the epiloque mask since it seems to violate the conditions the
test actually wanted to test for.
Not quite sure why it's failing only on Arm though.
