[LLVMdev] Simple Loop Vectorize Question

[Joshua Klontz]

Nadav,

Please forgive my ignorance, but 'opt -mcpu=corei7 -loop-vectorize -S
-debug double.ll' doesn't appear to make a difference. In fact it seems to
be ignored as garbage values for -mcpu don't raise an error. Am I
overlooking something else also?

Many Thanks,
Josh
