--- Comment #3 from Jeffrey A. Law <law at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Things seem to go wrong as we create insn 14:
;; vect__4.9_18 = (vector(2) long int) vect__3.8_9;
(insn 14 13 0 (set (reg:RVVM1DI 141 [ vect__4.9 ])
(sign_extend:RVVM1DI (subreg:RVVMF4HI (reg/v:DI 152 [ x ]) 0)))
"j.c":6:8 -1
(nil))
That later gets split into:
(insn 25 24 0 (set (reg:RVVM1DI 141 [ vect__4.9 ])
(if_then_else:RVVM1DI (unspec:RVVMF64BI [
(const_vector:RVVMF64BI [
(const_int 1 [0x1]) repeated x2
])
(reg:DI 160)
(const_int 1 [0x1]) repeated x3
(reg:SI 66 vl)
(reg:SI 67 vtype)
] UNSPEC_VPREDICATE)
(sign_extend:RVVM1DI (subreg:RVVMF4HI (reg/v:DI 152 [ x ]) 0))
(unspec:RVVM1DI [
(reg:DI 0 zero)
] UNSPEC_VUNDEF))) -1
(nil))
Then we go into a loop trying to reload the input to the sign_extend.
