gcc49-pr59594.patch

Untested patch for discussion.  The reason why we (incorrectly) vectorize the
testcase is that we ignore the data dependency, on the testcase both the b[a]
read vs. b[a+1] store and b[a] store vs. b[a+1] store DDRs have dist 1 and
DDR_REVERSED_P set and we ignore those.  Now on say:
int printf (const char *, ...);

int a;
static int b[1024];

int
main ()
{
  for (a = 0; a <= 512; a++)
    {
      b[a - 1] = b[a];
      b[a] = 1;
    }
  printf ("%d\n", b[1]);
  return 0;
}
only the b[a] read vs. b[a-1] store is dist 1 DDR_REVERSED_P and b[a] store vs.
b[a-1] store is dist 1 !DDR_REVERSED_P, thus we don't vectorize it (correctly).
Unfortunately not ignoring dist > 0 && DDR_REVERSED_P ddrs for negative step
regresses the testcase I've attached, where there is a write after read ddr and
it works properly with the current check.  While the attached patch keeps that
testcase (no-vfa-vect-depend*.c) working and fixes the test (pr59594.c), the
conditions are piled completely randomly, I'm afraid I don't know why it is so,
if for the DDR_REVERSED_P continue it matters whether step is positive or
negative, or if that is irrelevant and all the write after write DDR_REVERSED_P
ddrs need to be checked normally (abs (dist) >= *max_vf), or if say only write
after read should be treated as the code treats it right now and even read
after write is problematic.  The DDR_REVERSED_P stuff has been added in 2007
for PR32377, see e.g. http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-09/msg01067.html

Richard, any ideas?
