FORTRAN currently has a pragma NOVECTOR for indicating that vectorization should
not be applied to a particular loop.
ICC/ICX also has such a pragma for C and C++ called #pragma novector.
As part of this patch series I need a way to easily turn off vectorization of
particular loops, particularly for testsuite reasons.
This patch proposes a #pragma GCC novector that does the same for C
as gfortan does for FORTRAN and what ICX/ICX does for C.
I added only some basic tests here, but the next patch in the series uses this
in the testsuite in about ~800 tests.
gcc/c-family/ChangeLog:
* c-pragma.h (enum pragma_kind): Add PRAGMA_NOVECTOR.
* c-pragma.cc (init_pragma): Use it.
gcc/c/ChangeLog:
* c-parser.cc (c_parser_while_statement, c_parser_do_statement,
c_parser_for_statement, c_parser_statement_after_labels,
c_parse_pragma_novector, c_parser_pragma): Wire through novector and
default to false.
