--- Comment #1 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> 2012-12-12 14:18:04 UTC --- 27: not vectorized: no vectype for stmt: _4 = va[i_34]; scalar_type: float32x8_t The vectorizer does not handle loops that already have vector types. And basic-block vectorization isn't clever enough to scan all of the starting points of the basic-block (that code needs a rewrite).
