X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cc5179f3a36a087891beecd1b3cb23d172dc76c7;p=thirdparty%2Fgcc.git

[PATCH 2/2] tree-optimization/vect: Allow single-lane SLP fallback when limit is exhausted

In vect_analyze_slp_reduction, the early bail "if (*limit == 0) return
false" blocked all SLP discovery including the single-lane fallback path.
However, single-lane SLP trees (group_size == 1) do not consume the
discovery limit as they cannot cause exponential tree growth.

This causes vectorization failures in loops with many independent
conditional reductions: multi-lane grouping attempts exhaust the limit,
then the single-lane fallback that would have succeeded is incorrectly
rejected.

The fix moves the limit check to only guard chain analysis (which builds
multi-lane trees and does consume limit), allowing the single-lane
fallback to always proceed.

This improves 731.astcenc_r (-Ofast) by 3.8% on EMR and 1.4% on Znver5 with single-copy.

gcc/ChangeLog:

	* tree-vect-slp.cc (vect_analyze_slp_reduction): Don't bail out
	early when SLP discovery limit is exhausted; only guard the chain
	analysis which may build multi-lane trees.  Single-lane fallback
	does not consume limit and should always be attempted.
