        <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">From what I
            can gather, there is currently no way for loop strength
            reduction to target pre- and post-increment addressing
            modes. This is because the target hook
            `isLegalAddressingMode` in TargetTransformInfo.h doesn’t
            allow for pre- and post-increment. There is in fact a
            comment to that effect on the function prototype: “TODO:
            handle pre/postinc as well” (see
            <a moz-do-not-send="true"

            wondering: is there a way to work around this limitation?
            And are there any plans to add support for pre- and
            post-increment addressing modes?

    It is, unfortunately, a long-standing deficiency. There are some
    work-arounds in some targets (e.g.
    lib/Target/PowerPC/PPCLoopPreIncPrep.cpp), but work on this would be
    appreciated.<br>
