Besides, since GCC 13 currently is on stage 4. 
Unlike the infrastructure that I am building for intrinsic && auto-vec which is safe and will not affect the original RISC-V port functionality.
Auto-vectorization will potentially affect the orignal RISC-V port functionality which is not safe to support in current stage of GCC 13.

Subject: Re: [PATCH] vect: Check that vector factor is a compile-time constant
Juzhe,
I disagree with this comment. There are many stakeholders for autovectorization and waiting until GCC 14 is not a viable solution for us as well as other stakeholders ready to begin work on autovectorization.
As we discussed I have been moving forward with patches for autovectorization and am preparing to send them to gcc-patches. This assert is preventing code from compiling and needs to be addressed.
If you have a solution in either the RISCV backend or in this file can you please present it?

I don't think we need to apply this limit in case of RVV auto-vectorization.
I have talked with Kito and I have a full solution of supporting RVV solution.

We are going to support RVV auto-vectorization in 3 configuration according to RVV ISA spec:
1. -march=zve32* support QI and HI auto-vectorization by VNx4QImode and VNx2HImode
2. -march=zve64* support QI and HI and SI auto-vectorization by VNx8QImode and VNx4HImode and VNx2SImode
3. -march=v* support QI and HI and SI and DI auto-vectorization by VNx16QImode and VNx8HImode and VNx4SImode and VNx2DImode

I will support them in GCC 14. Current loop vectorizer works well for us no need to fix it. 
Thanks.
