That's because we hit check_bool_pattern (var=<ssa_name 0x7ffff6c36e10>, loop_vinfo=0x1f3e900, bb_vinfo=0x0) at /space/rguenther/src/svn/trunk/gcc/tree-vect-patterns.c:2596 2596 &dt)) ... 2605 if (!has_single_use (def)) 2606 return false; because _5 = x[i_18]; _6 = _5 > 0.0; _7 = w[i_18]; _8 = y[i_18]; _9 = _7 < _8; _10 = _9 & _6; _11 = (int) _10; k[i_18] = _11; iftmp.0_13 = z[i_18]; iftmp.0_2 = _10 ? iftmp.0_13 : _8; thus we have CSEd the load from k and propagated from the conversion. VRP does this: _11 = (int) _10; - k[i_1] = _11; - if (_11 != 0) + k[i_18] = _11; + if (_10 != 0) and -fno-tree-vrp "fixes" the regression. If k were of type _Bool then it likely wouldn't vectorize with 4.8 either. The vectorizer cannot handle multi-uses of a pattern part (in this case it's the start which would be doable, but it's far from trivial ...). That said, static float x[1024]; static float y[1024]; static float z[1024]; static float w[1024]; static _Bool k[1024]; void __attribute__((noinline,noclone)) barX() { int i; for (i=0; i<1024; ++i) { k[i] = (x[i]>0) & (w[i]<y[i]); z[i] = (k[i]) ? z[i] : y[i]; } } is not vectorized even in 4.8 for the cited reason. > On the other hand I am very happy to see > void bar() { > for (int i=0; i<1024; ++i) { > auto c = ( (x[i]>0) & (w[i]<y[i])) | (y[i]>0.5f); > z[i] = c ? y[i] : z[i]; > } > } > vectorized > if (c) z[i] = y[i]; > does not even with -ftree-loop-if-convert-stores > not a real issue at least for what I am concerned I think it doesn't introduce data races unless you also specify --param allow-store-data-races=1. I also don't see the testcases vectorized when using && instead of &. If not already there, these warrant (different) bugreports.
