If we're talking about long-term fixes, I think we should just make sure that we vectorise all functions before applying rtl optimisations to any of them. But that's all moot anyway: either approach will take a long time to implement. (Note that, as things stand, we've already written out the asm code for bar() by the time we vectorise foo().) As far as 4.2 fixes go, does anyone disagree with my earlier comment? Richard -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27770
