Yes.

But to compute the VF we need to know the vector types! We're only
calling vectorizable_* when the VF is final. That said, the code you quote:

is just for the case of a function without return value. For this case
it's OK to do nothing - 'vectype' is the vector type of all vector defs
a stmt produces.
For calls with a LHS it should fall through to generic code doing
get_vectype_for_scalar_type on the LHS type.
