Hi All, In testcases gcc.dg/tree-ssa/slsr-19.c and gcc.dg/tree-ssa/slsr-20.c we have a fairly simple computation. On the current generic costing we generate: f: add w0, w0, 2 madd w1, w0, w1, w1 lsl w0, w1, 1 ret but on any other cost model but generic (including the new up coming generic) we generate: f: adrp x2, .LC0 dup v31.2s, w0 fmov s30, w1 ldr d29, [x2, #:lo12:.LC0] add v31.2s, v31.2s, v29.2s mul v31.2s, v31.2s, v30.s[0] addp v31.2s, v31.2s, v31.2s fmov w0, s31 ret .LC0: .word 2 .word 4 This seems to be because the vectorizer thinks the vector transfers are free: x1_4 + x2_6 1 times vector_stmt costs 0 in body x1_4 + x2_6 1 times vec_to_scalar costs 0 in body This happens because the stmt it's using to get the cost of register transfers for the given type happens to be one feeding into a MUL. we incorrectly discount the + for the register transfer. This is fixed by guarding the check for aarch64_multiply_add_p with a kind check and only do it for scalar_stmt and vector_stmt. I'm sending this separate to my patch series but it's required for it. It also seems to fix overvectorization cases in fotonik3d_r in SPECCPU 2017. Bootstrapped Regtested on aarch64-none-linux-gnu and no issues. Ok for master? Thanks, Tamar gcc/ChangeLog: * config/aarch64/aarch64.cc (aarch64_adjust_stmt_cost): Guard mla.
