[LLVMdev] Why is the loop vectorizer not working on my function?
Hi Hal!
I am using the 'x86_64' target. Below the complete module dump and here
the command line:

>>> LV: The Widest type: 32 bits. >>> LV: The Widest register is: 32 bits.Yep, we don’t pick up the right TTI. Try -march=x86-64 (or leave it out) you already have this info in the triple. Then it should work (does for me with your example below). On Oct 26, 2013, at 2:16 PM, Frank Winter <fwinter at jlab.org> wrote:> Hi Hal! > > I am using the 'x86_64' target.
