Hello, Ira Rosen posted a couple of vectorizer patches intended for 4.8:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2012-02/msg00191.html http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2012-02/msg00223.html As she is no longer able to contribute to GCC, she has asked me to help push these upstream now that 4.8 is in stage 1. We've been carrying those patches for a while in our Linaro GCC builds for ARM, and they're showing significant improvements in certain embedded test cases. I've now retested both patches on i386-linux with no regressions; the PowerPC team has helped with retesting on powerpc64-linux with no regressions, and there are (as expected) no significant changes in PowerPC benchmark results either. OK to commit the two patches to mainline? Bye, Ulrich -- Dr. Ulrich Weigand GNU Toolchain for Linux on System z and Cell BE ulrich.weig...@de.ibm.com
