--- Comment #9 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> --- (In reply to Richard Biener from comment #8) > So what's the state here? There is a cost model issue with the `char` case. I am not sure if this shows up in any code or not; it was more I found it while improving the popcount case in general. That being said I would defer it to GCC 16 as the changes to the cost inside the aarch64 backend need some TLC and is not a small change.
