--- Comment #4 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> --- (In reply to H.J. Lu from comment #1) > SLP thinks that it needs 4 stores to store 4 bytes of integer constant. > But it takes only 1 4-byte store. Yes, SLP looks at the GIMPLE IL, if you disable store-merging you'll get 4 stores. SLP doesn't anticipate any optimizations that follow it.
