Hi Nadav, I believe the implementation to keep on widening the vector to the next power of two must be in TargetLowering.h because that is where we decide whether to Widen the vector or not, and the size to which we widen it. In this case, we stop at 4xi8 and do not check if it is legal or not. But the comment says ‘try to widen vector elements until a legal type is found’. Also, there is a
