There is a patch that implements usage of vector instructions in memmov/memset expanding [1]. The patch was not reviewed for quite some time, but IIRC, we said that patches that were submitted before Stage 1 closes are still eligible for later stages (after a review of course). I think that this feature certainly improves gcc (also taking into account recent glibc changes in this area), and IMO implements an important feature for recent processors. I would like to motivate middle-end and target maintainers to consider the patch for a review before stage 1 closes, and ultimately ask Release Managers to decide how to proceed with this patch.
