This is a modified version of the previous patch that removes the documentation and read-md.c fixes. These patches have been submitted separately and approved. This patch is designed to address code that was not being vectorized due to missing widening patterns in the ARM backend. Code such as: int t6(int len, void * dummy, short * __restrict x) { len = len & ~31; int result = 0; __asm volatile (""); for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) result += x[i]; return result; } Validated on arm-none-eabi, arm-none-linux-gnueabi, arm-none-linux-gnueabihf, and armeb-none-linux-gnueabihf. 2015-09-22 Michael Collison * config/arm/neon.md (widen_sum): New patterns where mode is VQI to improve mixed mode add vectorization. -- Michael Collison Linaro Toolchain Working Group michael.collison@linaro.org
