For building interleaved patterns we have an optimization that does e.g. {1, 209, ...} = { 1, 0, 209, 0, ...} and {201, 25, ...} >> 8 = { 0, 201, 0, 25, ...} and IORs those. The optimization only works if the lowpart bits are zero. When overflowing e.g. with a negative step we cannot guarantee this. This patch makes us fall back to the generic merge handling for negative steps. I'm not 100% certain we're good even for positive steps. If the step or the vector length is large enough we'd still overflow and have non-zero lower bits. I haven't seen this happen during my testing, though and the patch doesn't make things worse, so... Regtested on rv64gcv_zvl512b. Let's see what the CI says. Regards Robin PR target/117682 gcc/ChangeLog: * config/riscv/riscv-v.cc (expand_const_vector): Fall back to merging if either step is negative. gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gcc.target/riscv/rvv/autovec/pr117682.c: New test.
