Xi Ruoyao <xry111 at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |xry111 at gcc dot gnu.org --- Comment #4 from Xi Ruoyao <xry111 at gcc dot gnu.org> --- There is also: double test (double *p) { double ret = p[0]; for (int i = 1; i < 4; i++) ret = __builtin_fmin (ret, p[i]); return ret; } This is not vectorized. And double test (double *p) { double ret = __builtin_inf(); /* or __builtin_nan("") */ for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) ret = __builtin_fmin (ret, p[i]); return ret; } is compiled to: _16 = .REDUC_FMIN (vect__4.7_17); _22 = .REDUC_FMIN ({ Inf, Inf, Inf, Inf }); _20 = .FMIN (_16, _22); [tail call] return _20; So there is an redundant .FMIN operation.
