<ul>
<li></li>
<li>
All of the NEON load and store intrinsics (llvm.arm.neon.vld* and
llvm.arm.neon.vst*) take an extra parameter to specify the alignment in bytes
of the memory being accessed.
</li>
<li>
The llvm.arm.neon.vaba intrinsic (vector absolute difference and
accumulate) has been removed. This operation is now represented using
the llvm.arm.neon.vabd intrinsic (vector absolute difference) followed by a
vector add.
</ul>
<li>
The llvm.arm.neon.vabdl and llvm.arm.neon.vabal intrinsics (lengthening
vector absolute difference with and without accumlation) have been removed.
They are represented using the llvm.arm.neon.vabd intrinsic (vector absolute
difference) followed by a vector zero-extend operation, and for vabal,
a vector add.
</li>
<li>
The llvm.arm.neon.vmovn intrinsic has been removed. Calls of this intrinsic
are now replaced by vector truncate operations.
</li>
<li>
The llvm.arm.neon.vmovls and llvm.arm.neon.vmovlu intrinsics have been
removed. They are now represented as vector sign-extend (vmovls) and
zero-extend (vmovlu) operations.
</li>
<li>
The llvm.arm.neon.vaddl*, llvm.arm.neon.vaddw*, llvm.arm.neon.vsubl*, and
llvm.arm.neon.vsubw* intrinsics (lengthening vector add and subtract) have
been removed. They are replaced by vector add and vector subtract operations
where one (vaddw, vsubw) or both (vaddl, vsubl) of the operands are either
sign-extended or zero-extended.
</li>
<li>
The llvm.arm.neon.vmulls, llvm.arm.neon.vmullu, llvm.arm.neon.vmlal*, and
llvm.arm.neon.vmlsl* intrinsics (lengthening vector multiply with and without
accumulation and subtraction) have been removed. These operations are now
represented as vector multiplications where the operands are either
sign-extended or zero-extended, followed by a vector add for vmlal or a
vector subtract for vmlsl. Note that the polynomial vector multiply
intrinsic, llvm.arm.neon.vmullp, remains unchanged.
