Hi Tyler,
Try to build clang in 32 bit mode and run test 
test/Transforms/LoopVectorize/no_array_bounds.ll. Will it pass?

For example, if the programmer wants vectorization and has specified #pragma clang loop vectorize(enable) before a loop and the loop fails to vectorize a warning will be generated.
