--- Comment #6 from GCC Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The master branch has been updated by Roger Sayle <[email protected]>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:8afde8eab36eb74ceecfbcc20322693358feba94 commit r17-5454-g8afde8eab36eb74ceecfbcc20322693358feba94 Author: Roger Sayle <[email protected]> Date: Wed Oct 21 13:21:47 2026 +0100 PR tree-optimization/126562: vectorizer vs. pow (x, 0.5) -> sqrt This patch fixes the vectorizer aspects of PR tree-optimization/126562, where GCC is inappropriately converting pow(x, 0.5) into sqrt(x). The scalar aspects were fixed in my patch for PR tree-optimization/127544. Unfortunately, this correctness patch required tweaking two existing testcases as the vectorizer no longer recognizes opportunities that match.pd missed, though these loops are still vectorized with the appropriate flags, for example with -Ofast. 2026-10-21 Roger Sayle <[email protected]> gcc/ChangeLog PR tree-optimization/126562 * tree-vect-patterns.cc (vect_recog_pow_pattern): Update square root case to check for signed zero or negative infinity. gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog PR tree-optimization/126562 * gcc.dg/vect/no-math-errno-slp-32.c: Update test case. * gcc.dg/vect/no-math-errno-vect-pow-1.c: Likewise. * gcc.dg/vect/pr126562-1.c: New execution test. * gcc.dg/vect/pr126562-2.c: Likewise.
