Hi Arnold,

Thanks for your reply.

I tried test case as suggested by you.





*void foo(int *a, int *sum) {*sum =
a[0]+a[1]+a[2]+a[3]+a[4]+a[5]+a[6]+a[7]+a[8]+a[9]+a[10]+a[11]+a[12]+a[13]+a[14]+a[15];}*
so that it has a 'store' in its IR.

As observed above, SLP vectorization doesn't vectorize this code.

I tried debugging, just mentioning what i found -
the code hits vectorizeChainsInBlock() ->
if(ShouldStartVectorizeHorAtStore) ->
tryToVectorize() -> tryToVectorizePair() -> tryToVectorizeList() - inside
this function, it iterates in the
for loop for checking if scalar instructions are of same type. It exits for
2nd iteration in the loop as
OpCode does not match , one opcode is 'add' and second is 'load'. So it
exits from function
'tryToVectorizeList()', and comes back to function 'tryToVectorize()', but
fails to satisfy any of the
further 'if' in that function and returns back without vectorizing any of
the code.

I will try to dig more into it and try to understand where the code can be
implemented.

Comments/suggestions/explanations are always welcomed !!
