             Bug #: 52614
           Summary: [4.8 Regression] Test failures in gcc.dg/vect:
                    vectorizing unaligned access
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.8.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: middle-end
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: dominiq@lps.ens.fr
                CC: Greta.Yorsh@arm.com, iains@gcc.gnu.org,
                    rguenth@gcc.gnu.org
            Target: arm*-*-* ppc*-*-* ia64-*-*


AFAICT pr52603 is not fixed after revision 185474 (see
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2012-03/msg02065.html ). In addition
similar errors occur on ppc*-*-* and ia64-*-* (see
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2012-03/msg02068.html ,
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2012-03/msg02104.html , and
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2012-03/msg02063.html ).

On powerpc-apple-darwin9, the tests pass with the following patch

I don't know if this related, but the failures reported in pr52491 disappeared
between revisions 185328 and 185486. Also on x86_64-apple-darwin10, the
polyhedron test gas_dyn.f90 runs 10% faster after revision 185454 than for
revision 185095.
