------- Comment #1 from rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org 2009-10-30 22:20 ------- You could use -O2 -ftree-vectorize.
Another pretty straight-forward way to write the operation is TYPE fun3(TYPE *x, TYPE *y, unsigned int n) { int i, j; TYPE dot = 0; for (i = 0; i < n / 8; i++) { dot += *(x++) * *(y++); dot += *(x++) * *(y++); dot += *(x++) * *(y++); dot += *(x++) * *(y++); dot += *(x++) * *(y++); dot += *(x++) * *(y++); dot += *(x++) * *(y++); dot += *(x++) * *(y++); } return dot; } -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41881
