Not 100% sure whether this is the preferred fix, but gcc.dg/vect/pr56787.c has lots of float * parameters that point who-knows-where and so is only vectorised if the target supports misaligned vector accesses:
void foo (unsigned long n, const float *__restrict u0, const float *__restrict u1, const float *__restrict u2, const float *__restrict u3, const float *__restrict u4, const float *__restrict s0, const float *__restrict s1, const float *__restrict s2, float *__restrict t3, float *__restrict t4) { unsigned long i; for (i = 0; i < n; i++) { float u[5], f[3][5]; u[0] = u0[i]; u[1] = u1[i]; u[2] = u2[i]; u[3] = u3[i]; u[4] = u4[i]; bar (u, f); t3[i] = s0[i] * f[0][3] + s1[i] * f[1][3] + s2[i] * f[2][3]; } } MIPS paired-single doesn't have any form of vector misalignment. I suppose it would be technically possible to use misaligned integer accesses and an FPR<->GPR move, but that can be expensive. I also don't have any hardware to benchmark it on. So this patch adds an xfail for vect_no_align. Tested on mipsisa64-sde-elf. OK to install? Thanks, Richard gcc/testsuite/ * gcc.dg/vect/pr56787.c: Mark as xfail for vect_no_align.
