--- Comment #3 from Eli Friedman <sharparrow1 at yahoo.com> ---
ext_vector_type is supposed to be used to represent a machine vector type or
something like it; the generated code is always straight-line code, with no
loops.  If you expect the generated code to contain a loop, you should write a
loop, and it will (hopefully) be vectorized for you.  For example:

void foo(float* restrict x, float * restrict y) {
  for (unsigned i = 0; i < 800; ++i)
    *x++ += *y++;
}

[...]
    movups    -16(%rdi,%rax,4), %xmm0
    movups    -16(%rsi,%rax,4), %xmm1
    addps    %xmm0, %xmm1
    movups    (%rdi,%rax,4), %xmm0
    movups    (%rsi,%rax,4), %xmm2
    movups    %xmm1, -16(%rdi,%rax,4)
    addps    %xmm0, %xmm2
    movups    %xmm2, (%rdi,%rax,4)
    addq    $8, %rax
    cmpq    $804, %rax              ## imm = 0x324
    jne    LBB0_1
