--- Comment #8 from CVS Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The master branch has been updated by Jakub Jelinek <ja...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:bea07159d1d4c9a61c8f7097e9f88c2b206b1b2f commit r12-3286-gbea07159d1d4c9a61c8f7097e9f88c2b206b1b2f Author: Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> Date: Wed Sep 1 13:30:51 2021 +0200 vectorizer: Fix up vectorization using WIDEN_MINUS_EXPR [PR102124] The following testcase is miscompiled on aarch64-linux at -O3 since the introduction of WIDEN_MINUS_EXPR. The problem is if the inner type (half_type) is unsigned and the result type in which the subtraction is performed (type) has precision more than twice as larger as the inner type's precision. For other widening operations like WIDEN_{PLUS,MULT}_EXPR, if half_type is unsigned, the addition/multiplication result in itype is also unsigned and needs to be zero-extended to type. But subtraction is special, even when half_type is unsigned, the subtraction behaves as signed (also regardless of whether the result type is signed or unsigned), 0xfeU - 0xffU is -1 or 0xffffffffU, not 0x0000ffff. I think it is better not to use mixed signedness of types in WIDEN_MINUS_EXPR (have unsigned vector of operands and signed result vector), so this patch instead adds another cast to make sure we always sign-extend the result from itype to type if type is wider than itype. 2021-09-01 Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> PR tree-optimization/102124 * tree-vect-patterns.c (vect_recog_widen_op_pattern): For ORIG_CODE MINUS_EXPR, if itype is unsigned with smaller precision than type, add an extra cast to signed variant of itype to ensure sign-extension. * gcc.dg/torture/pr102124.c: New test.
