[cfe-users] floor is vectorized, but sin, cos exp are not

Hi,

according to the doc 
(https://releases.llvm.org/7.0.0/docs/Vectorizers.html) floor, sin, cos 
should be vectorized.

I can confirm (using the great https://gcc.godbolt.org/ tool) that using 
the flags "-Ofast -mavx2  -fopenmp -ffast-math" the right avx2 opcode 
(vroundps) is emited for floor (in foo), but unfortunately not for sin, 
cos or exp (e.g. see sin in bar below).

GCC 8.1+ and the Intel Compiler icc 13+ insert call to vectorized 
implementations (_ZGVbN4v_sinf or __svml_sinf4 ), but clang seems to 
have nothing like this.

Here is my small testcode:

#include<cmath>

voidfoo(float* __restrict__attribute((aligned(32))) x
, float* __restrict__attribute((aligned(32))) y) {
for(inti = 0; i < 4; ++i)
y[i] = floor(x[i]);
}


voidbar(float* __restrict__attribute((aligned(32))) x
, float* __restrict__attribute((aligned(32))) y) {
for(inti = 0; i < 4; ++i)
y[i] = sin(x[i]);
}

I have reproduced this behavior on different machines. Maybe I am doing 
s.th. wrong here, but it seems like there is no vectorized 
implementation for sin, cos etc. I am using h2lib for now 
(http://h2lib.org/doc/d1/d89/simd__avx_8h_source.html) as a workaround, 
but I expect clang to do this job.

Can anybody comment on this please?

Cheers
Klaus
