[llvm-dev] unable to emit vectorized code in LLVM IR

Thank you. You are genius. It solved. Actually, I am working on a compiler
project for my phd using LLVM. I have some basic questions:


Here my main goal is that i need to use JIT to perform operations on user
input file supplied at run time using vector instructions. is it possible
and achievable through JIT?

Also is there any way to vectorize run time input or run time user input
file reading using JIT in LLVM? in my tested example of vec-sum.c user loop
which reads user input is not vectorized? Why?

I would be grateful if you answer my questions. It would help me to proceed
in my project.


Thank You again
