Hi, Richards.

Could you take a look at this patch:
https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2023-May/618241.html 

Thanks

Yes.

For case 3 it's:
 
rgc->max_nscalars_per_iter == 1 && rgc != &LOOP_VINFO_LENS (loop_vinfo)[0]
 
rgc->factor is controlled by the target and just says what units
IFN_LOAD_LEN works in.  E.g. if we're loading 16-byte elements,
but the underlying instruction measures bytes, the factor would be 2.
 
Thanks,
Richard
