[llvm-dev] Prologue and epilogue for vectorized code

[Alex Susu via llvm-dev]

   Hello.
     I'd like to generate a sort of prologue+epilogue for a code block running on a SIMD 
architecture obtained from the LLVM loop vectorizer. My SIMD processor receives data from 
the CPU via DMA transfer and sends it via DMA transfer or a FIFO.
    It is exactly for these transfers that I need to write the prologue+epilogue - 
relatively simple, e.g. a call to a function like TransferViaDMA().
    Although it doesn't seem to be very difficult, I'm curious what is the best way to do it.

    I haven't found anybody to write prologue+epilogue for vector code (obtained from the 
loop vectorizer), and although it shouldn't be very different from the prologue+epilogue 
for function call, I'm still curious what's the best way to do it.

    Please let me know what do you recommend.

  Thank you,
    Alex
