We don't have WHILE_ULTs for fixed vector length though. When VLS the
mask is generated explicitly as a constant, .e.. you get a BImode vector with
{-1,-1,-1,-1,-1, ...}. So at the moment the expectation is that VLS never gets
here.
You can get a whilelo synthesized by the predicate expansion code, i.e.
void foo (int *x)
{
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
x[i] *= 2;
}
With -O3 -march=armv8.5-a+sve whilelt.c -S -o - -mautovec-preference=sve-only
-msve-vector-bits=512
gets you a whilelo but that's done on expansion. While -msve-vector-bits=256
gets you
the correct ptrue p7.b, vl32.
But I can make it more explicit by rejecting

Yeah that's a good shout. I had expected aarch64_fold_sve_ptrue_vl to return
NULL
if it can't fold, but looks like it does no validation and so an invalid fold
triggers an
ICE. Will fix.

No that's correct, it's just checking that the code didn't break in a smaller

I can remove them If you prefer.
