If these pragmas are silently ignored when then they don’t have much value. A 
big part of their value come from the confirmation that they are working. The 
warning will only be generated on loops with #pragma clang loop 
vectorize/interleave/unroll specified. It can also be silenced using the 
command line option -Wno-optimization-warning.

I’m still looking into the clang in 32-bit mode question posed earlier. Are 
there any other comments on the patches?

Thanks,

Tyler
