RE: [PATCH, Loop optimizer]: Add logic to disable certain loop optimizations on pre-/post-loops


Hi, Jack:

Is prefetch default on at -O3 on your systems?

Can you do an additional test to test
-O3 -ffast-math with/without the original patch?

This way, we can know that whether it is the rtl-loop unrolling problem.

Thanks,

Changpeng

which is only a slightly lower performance penalty on the
Geometric Mean Execution Time (1.7%).
