--- Comment #1 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
-mprefer-vector-width=256 means it _prefers_ AVX256 but then in case
vectorization fails (for whatever bogus reason) with AVX256 it will still try
AVX512:

static unsigned int
ix86_autovectorize_vector_modes (vector_modes *modes, bool all)
{
  if (TARGET_AVX512F && !TARGET_PREFER_AVX256)
    {
      modes->safe_push (V64QImode);
      modes->safe_push (V32QImode);
      modes->safe_push (V16QImode);
    }
  else if (TARGET_AVX512F && all)
    {
      modes->safe_push (V32QImode);
      modes->safe_push (V16QImode);
      modes->safe_push (V64QImode);
    }

the odd thing is that the dumps suggest we use V4DFmode.  We use a VF of 8
because of V8SI and it seems that call vectorization then chooses the
larger vector mode because it is supported - it seems to have its own
idea of costing there (probably reasonable).

Do you think this is a bad idea?
