[Bug tree-optimization/21212] missed vectorization opportunity

Actually char a[16] decays into pointers in agruments. So the optimizators don't know if a, b, or c point 
to the same place (or even overlaps).
Instead if you define the function as the following we do vectorize the loop:
oid test_loop_c(char * __restrict__ a, char *__restrict__ b, char * __restrict__ c)
{
  int i;

  for(i = 0; i<16; i++)
    {
      c[i] = a[i] + b[i];
    }
}
