Hello,
The problem is known for about a month now, and nobody bothered

anything about it.
IIRC, one problem in this area was fixed By Diego and/or Jeff.
In any
case,
it would be useful if you provide more info to refresh our memory.
I don't know what the issue was. You can see it yourself if you
apply
the patch. basically, at the end of the vectorizing pass, there are
statements which if you call update_stmt() on them, they get a
different
set of operands. This means they needed to be updated during the
pass
because they are out of date when the pass is over.
I thought this was addressed by,
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2005-04/msg00848.html
This thread started at
Semi-Latent Bug in tree vectorizer
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2005-04/msg00382.html
obviously, that was a different bug.
Well, I wanted to know what is "the known problem for about a month" ?
This was the only thing I knew and it looked similar. So, I appreciate
pointers for earlier discussions you referred above.
Otherwise, I'll try this patch myself, in next couple of days to
understand what is going on.
