Hi, this patch refactors the codes in tree-vect-stmts.cc in case of gimple IR generation.

I realize the codes change too much and I am not sure whether you are happy with it.

Originally, the codes are like:

if (final_mask)
 {
    generate IFN_MASK_LOAD...
 }
else if (loop_len)
{
   generate IFN_LEN_LOAD
   handle BIAS.
}
else
{ 
NORMAL_LOAD
}

Now, I refactor it:

if (final_mask || loop_len)
{
  if (get_len_load_store ().exisits ())
  {
    /* LEN_MASK_LOAD or LEN_LOAD */
    get len..
    if (LEN_MASK_LOAD)
     {
       get mask...
       generate IFN_LEN_MASK_LOAD...
     }
     else
      {
        generate IFN_LEN_LOAD...
      }
      Handle BIAS....
  }
  else
  {
    gcc_assert (final_mask)
    /* MASK_LOAD */
   }
}
else 
{
 NORMAL_LOAD
}

The reason I refactor it is I found LEN_MASK_LOAD and LEN_LOAD share some common codes.
Avoid duplicate codes make the codes looks reasonable.

Boostrap and Regression is on the way.

Subject: [PATCH] VECT: Apply LEN_MASK_{LOAD,STORE} into vectorizer
From: Ju-Zhe Zhong <juzhe.zhong@rivai.ai>
 
This patch is apply LEN_MASK_{LOAD,STORE} into vectorizer.
I refactor gimple IR build to make codes look cleaner.
 
gcc/ChangeLog:
 
        * internal-fn.cc (expand_partial_store_optab_fn): Add LEN_MASK_{LOAD,STORE} vectorizer support.
        (internal_load_fn_p): Ditto.
        (internal_store_fn_p): Ditto.
        (internal_fn_mask_index): Ditto.
        (internal_fn_stored_value_index): Ditto.
        (internal_len_load_store_bias): Ditto.
        * optabs-query.cc (can_vec_mask_load_store_p): Ditto.
        (get_len_load_store_mode): Ditto.
        * tree-vect-stmts.cc (check_load_store_for_partial_vectors): Ditto.
        (get_all_ones_mask): New function.
        (vectorizable_store): Add LEN_MASK_{LOAD,STORE} vectorizer support.
        (vectorizable_load): Ditto.
