Ok, actually if the asm result is used outside the loop, the vectorizer does
not happen but if is not used, then it happens so no wrong code.

You need some output to the inline-asm to cause it to vectorizer:
This:
{int t; asm ("":"+r"(t)::); }

Otherwise if it is volatile, it does not work as that requires that many
iterations of asm to be called.
