This patch resolves PR tree-optimization/101895 a missed optimization regression, by adding a costant folding simplification to match.pd to simplify the transform "mult; vec_perm; plus" into "vec_perm; mult; plus" with the aim that keeping the multiplication and addition next to each other allows them to be recognized as fused-multiply-add on suitable targets. This transformation requires a tweak to match.pd's vec_same_elem_p predicate to handle CONSTRUCTOR_EXPRs using the same SSA_NAME_DEF_STMT idiom used for constructors elsewhere in match.pd. The net effect is that the following code example: void foo(float * __restrict__ a, float b, float *c) { a[0] = c[0]*b + a[0]; a[1] = c[2]*b + a[1]; a[2] = c[1]*b + a[2]; a[3] = c[3]*b + a[3]; } when compiled on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu with -O2 -march=cascadelake currently generates: vbroadcastss %xmm0, %xmm0 vmulps (%rsi), %xmm0, %xmm0 vpermilps $216, %xmm0, %xmm0 vaddps (%rdi), %xmm0, %xmm0 vmovups %xmm0, (%rdi) ret but with this patch now generates the improved: vpermilps $216, (%rsi), %xmm1 vbroadcastss %xmm0, %xmm0 vfmadd213ps (%rdi), %xmm0, %xmm1 vmovups %xmm1, (%rdi) ret 2022-03-15 Roger Sayle <ro...@nextmovesoftware.com> Marc Glisse <marc.gli...@inria.fr> Richard Biener <rguent...@suse.de> gcc/ChangeLog PR tree-optimization/101895 * match.pd (vec_same_elem_p): Handle CONSTRUCTOR_EXPR def.
