Yes, we do have instructions on ARM that can handle strides {2,3,4}. The fix should be changing the stride to something that would require a gather operation (let's say 5).

Interesting, if Assume=true it should return 3? Do you why this is happening? Just from looking at the original code, is Assume=true it should return Stride not 0.
