There are cases where they are beneficial, but those cases are much less common and harder to characterize than you might expect. LLVM is deliberately conservative about using MOVNT (IIRC it’s currently only generated if you explicitly ask for it by using intrinsics).<br class=""><br class="">– Steve<br class=""><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class="">On Sep 28, 2017, at 9:10 AM, hameeza ahmed via llvm-dev <<a href="mailto:llvm-dev@lists.llvm.org" class="">llvm-dev@lists.llvm.org</a>> wrote:<br class=""><br class="">Hello, i am using llvm 4.0 i am generating intel avx code.
