Summary: This PR fixes the issue where the VecLib bitfield in CodeGenOptions.def is too small to accommodate the increasing number of vector libraries. Specifically, the bitfield size was previously set to 3, but with the introduction of more vector libraries (currently 9), the bitfield needed to be expanded to avoid potential issues in vectorization. In this PR, I have increased the size of the VecLib bitfield from 3 to 4 to account for the additional libraries. This ensures that all 9 vector libraries are correctly encoded and available for use without errors. Changes Made: Modified: Increased the VecLib bitfield size from 3 to 4 in clang/include/clang/Basic/CodeGenOptions.def. Motivation: This change is necessary to ensure that all vector libraries are properly represented and selectable. The current limitation of the VecLib bitfield size was causing some vectorization opportunities to be lost when more than 3 bits were needed to represent the library options. Closes: Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/108704
The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
