But the idea of the fwprop change looks OK to me in principle. What we have now seems conservative, based on heuristics that haven't been updated in a long time. So relaxing them a bit seems like a good idea. IIRC Jeff had another case in which the current heuristics were too strict.

We don't want to treat arbitrary duplicates as profitable. It's not obvious that vec_duplicate is special enough that we should treat it differently from other unary operators. For example, zero_extend and sign_extend don't seem fundamentally more expensive than vec_duplicate. On the other hand, I suppose if we allow unary arithmetic such as NEG, we should probably also allow binary arithmetic that contains only a single variable operand. So including all unary operators wouldn't lead to a natural stopping point either. So yeah, maybe just start with vec_duplicate, with an open door for *_extend if someone wants that too.

Is that right? All in all, I agree this looks like a reasonable thing to do. Thanks, Richard
