[cfe-dev] [llvm-dev] generate vectorized code

[Mehdi Amini via cfe-dev]

Hi Rail,

Two hints to begin with:

1) Makes sure you example is vectorized on X86 for example
2) Is your target correctly overriding the TTI (declaring the vector register size for example) so that the vectorizer can kicks-in (see X86TTIImpl::getRegisterBitWidth for instance). Alternatively you can test the SLP vectorizer by passing to clang: -mllvm -slp-max-reg-size -mllvm 512  (I don't see an equivalent option for the loop vectorizer though).
