I actually agree with you in principle, but I would rather run the pass now (and avoid hacks downstream to essentially do CSE in the backend) than hold up progress on the hope of advanced on-demand CSE layers being added to the vectorizers. I don't know of anyone actually working on that, and so I'm somewhat concerned it will never materialize.

The SLP vectorizer already has a built-in CSE. The Loop vectorizer does not need a CSE AFAIK, but it does need InstCombine to cleanup the code that we generate for induction variables and scatter/gather. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
