It would and I thought about that too. A few things are not as nice as now:


  # We would change the map really often and that is way more expensive than what we do now.
  # We would need to expose the IDToValue map (minor issue though).
  # We would need bookkeeping when we update the map to go back to the original again, overall I thing the 4 call sides would look really ugly.

I personally do not have a problem with the IslExprBuilder "knowing about" vector lanes, but I don't have a strong opinion on the other way either.
The only thing I know is that at the moment newAccessRelations + vector code generation is buggy and we need to fix it...

Thanks!

Correct. That might even be the problem I have in some of my privatization lnt tests ;)

I could correct his by adding a second field with the stride, however you do not think this is the right way to go anyway.
