The LLVM 3.9 auto-vectorization docs claim that both functions will be vectorized: http://llvm.org/releases/3.9.0/docs/Vectorizers.html#vectorization-of-function-calls <http://llvm.org/releases/3.9.0/docs/Vectorizers.html#vectorization-of-function-calls>

This is with clang 3.9, but I've also confirmed the bug exists back to at least clang 3.7. I've also observed that logf calls break vectorization of more complex loops, and I provide the comparison with fabsf as a reduced test case.
