[Bug c/30442] New: Array initialization can use memset builtin function

[ubizjak at gmail dot com]

Array initialization could use memset builtin function. In following two
testcases, array is initialized without use of memset:

That is because in Fortran, you have "a = 0" and instead of lowering it into a
loop, it lowers it to a memset instead.

------- Comment #2 from pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org  2007-01-14 05:01 -------
This is a bit complex, we could use a loop reroller to roll this into a loop
and then transform that loop into memset for test1.
For test2 it is simple and a patch was presented at last year's gcc summit (and
I posted an older version of that patch a year or two ago).

This optimization would have made grep 2.5.3 30% faster in a real-world test
case:

This still happens on mainline.

I wonder if vectorizer infrastructure can be re-used here to detect unrolled
and looped version of memset. In addition to loop that can be "vectorized", we
have something resembling "vectorization" of straight code.

And looking at comment #3, the rewards from real-world code look really
promising.

This code can be vectorized with basic block SLP, which is not implemented yet
(currently only SLP in loops is implemented).

However, in comment #3 there is a loop:

               :  MALLOC(visited, int, d->tindex);
 48796 16.2440 :  for (i = 0; i < d->tindex; ++i)
 94442 31.4394 :    visited[i] = 0;

There was an effort to replace such loops with calls to builtins -

So, $summary is still true but we now at least vectorize the initialization.

The

long long test2(void)
{
  long long a[32];
  int i;

  for (i = 0; i < 32; i++)
    a[i] = 0;

  return foo(a);
}

loop is transformed to memset at -O3.  The unrolled version is not "re-rolled"
still, and basic-block vectorization does not catch it because of the
call in the basic-block.  I'm trying to fix that.
