[llvm-dev] Bug with auto-vectorization of logf

[Tanya Lattner via llvm-dev]

Eric,

I apologize for any delay or confusion. From my records/list archives, I saw that Anton had created an account for you on Oct 17th and responded to your email to llvm-admin. I am not sure what happened after that point as I thought the account was done.

I just confirmed there is an account for you in bugzilla, so you should be good to go if you reset your password.

-Tanya

The LLVM 3.9 auto-vectorization docs claim that both functions will be vectorized: http://llvm.org/releases/3.9.0/docs/Vectorizers.html#vectorization-of-function-calls <http://llvm.org/releases/3.9.0/docs/Vectorizers.html#vectorization-of-function-calls>

This is with clang 3.9, but I've also confirmed the bug exists back to at least clang 3.7. I've also observed that logf calls break vectorization of more complex loops, and I provide the comparison with fabsf as a reduced test case.
