--- Comment #13 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> --- So the valarray behavior boils down to struct _Array { int * __restrict m_data; }; void foo (struct _Array dest, int *src, int n) { for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) dest.m_data[i] = src[i]; } which we treat similarly: _8 = MEM[(int *)_3 clique 1 base 0]; MEM[(int *)_7 clique 1 base 1] = _8; and thus we'd vectorize "bogously" for example if src == dest.m_data + 1
