That's why when this line of questions pops up, I offer to work together. Short of that, the best we can proactively do is to make vectorizer analyses available outside of vectorizer (and easy to find). In some sense, this is a chicken-egg problem. Once VPlan-based LV becomes good enough shape and if this problem still remains, we could expand into working on vectorization enabling transformations, but I really hope there are others who can work in that area before us.

I understand. We are working on more fundamental levels (register
allocator, pipelining) before looking at the vectoriser, so it may
take a while, too. Once we start looking at that, I'll let you know.

cheers,
