...s (which now I forget), the kernel could choose the vector length per process, meaning this is not known even at link time. But that's ok, because the SVE instructions completely (I'm guessing, again) bypass the need for that "constant" to be constant at all, ie, the use of `incw/incp`. Since you can fail half-way through, the width that you need to increment to the induction variable is not even known at run time! Meaning, that's not a constant at all! Example: a[i] = b[ c[i] ]; ld1w z0.s, p0/z, [ c, i, lsl 2 ] ld1w z1.s, p0/z, [ b, z0.s, stxw 2 ] Now, z0.s load may...

Hi Renato, Sorry for the delay in responding. We've been busy rethinking some of our changes after the feedback we've received thus far (particularly from the devmeeting). The incremental patches will use our revised design(which should be less invasive), and I'll be updating our document to match. On 16/11/2016, 12:46, "Renato Golin" <renato.golin at linaro.org>
