           Summary: loop optimization prevents vectorization
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.7.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: tree-optimization
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: vincenzo.innocente@cern.ch


In the following example I suspect that some sort of loop merging at O3 prevent
the optimization of the second inner loop in "bar"
compare
c++ -Wall -O2 -ftree-vectorize -ftree-vectorizer-verbose=7 -c vectHist.cpp
-ffast-math
c++ -Wall -O3 -ftree-vectorize -ftree-vectorizer-verbose=7 -c vectHist.cpp
-ffast-math



what I do not understand is that if (following man page) I compare O2 and O3
with
gcc -c -Q -O3 --help=optimizers > /tmp/O3-opts
gcc -c -Q -O2 --help=optimizers > /tmp/O2-opts
diff /tmp/O2-opts /tmp/O3-opts | grep enabled
>   -fgcse-after-reload         		[enabled]
>   -finline-functions          		[enabled]
>   -fipa-cp-clone              		[enabled]
>   -fpredictive-commoning      		[enabled]
>   -ftree-loop-distribute-patterns 	[enabled]
>   -ftree-vectorize            		[enabled]
>   -funswitch-loops            		[enabled]

I still get
c++ -std=gnu++0x -DNDEBUG -Wall -O2 -ftree-vectorize -msse4
-fvisibility-inlines-hidden -ftree-vectorizer-verbose=2 --param
vect-max-version-for-alias-checks=30 -funsafe-loop-optimizations

-Wunsafe-loop-optimizations -fgcse-sm -fgcse-las -c vectHist.cpp -ffast-math
-funswitch-loops -ftree-loop-distribute-patterns -fpredictive-commoning
-finline-functions -fipa-cp-clone -fgcse-after-reload

vectHist.cpp:17: note: not vectorized: data ref analysis failed x_5 =
co[D.4986_4];

vectHist.cpp:16: note: vectorized 0 loops in function.

vectHist.cpp:35: note: not vectorized: data ref analysis failed D.4977_30 =

vectHist.cpp:33: note: LOOP VECTORIZED.
vectHist.cpp:31: note: not vectorized: data ref analysis failed D.4957_13 =

while changing just O2 in 03 (that at this point should be not really effective
as I added all options by hand) does not vectorizeâ

note how it does not report anything about loops at lines 31,33 and 35
