Hi Arnold,

Thank you.
I did ponder about stopping later, but it seemed sensible/reasonable to stop it 
earlier but not creating the passes.
I'll make a suitable patch for review...


I am curious to know why the TargetTransformInfo is only available via 
getAnalysis<> (which is only callable during passes?)
and the SelectionDAG::getTargetTransformInfo()

Robert

Hi Robert,

I think Nadav meant to add code to the LoopVectorizer and SLPVectorizer that 
calls "TTI.getNumberOfRegisters(true)” and stops vectorization if it returns 0. 
Something like:

@@ -906,6 +906,11 @@ struct LoopVectorize : public LoopPass {

+    // vectorization.
+    if (!TTI->getNumberOfRegisters(true))
+      return false;
+
     if (DL == NULL) {
       DEBUG(dbgs() << "LV: Not vectorizing because of missing data layout");
       return false;
