Hi, As mentioned in PR, for the following test-case: #include <arm_neon.h>
bfloat16x4_t f1 (bfloat16_t a) { return vdup_n_bf16 (a); } bfloat16x4_t f2 (bfloat16_t a) { return (bfloat16x4_t) {a, a, a, a}; } Compiling with arm-linux-gnueabi -O3 -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=softfp -march=armv8.2-a+bf16+fp16 results in f2 not being vectorized: f1: vdup.16 d16, r0 vmov r0, r1, d16 @ v4bf bx lr f2: mov r3, r0 @ __bf16 adr r1, .L4 ldrd r0, [r1] mov r2, r3 @ __bf16 mov ip, r3 @ __bf16 bfi r1, r2, #0, #16 bfi r0, ip, #0, #16 bfi r1, r3, #16, #16 bfi r0, r2, #16, #16 bx lr This seems to happen because vec_init pattern in neon.md has VDQ mode iterator, which doesn't include V4BF. In attached patch, I changed mode to VDQX which seems to work for the test-case, and the compiler now generates: f2: vdup.16 d16, r0 vmov r0, r1, d16 @ v4bf bx lr However, the pattern is also gated on TARGET_HAVE_MVE and I am not sure if either VDQ or VDQX are correct modes for MVE since MVE has only 128-bit vectors ?
