We used to only allow SCEVAddRecExpr for pointer expressions in order to be able to compute the bounds. However this is also trivially possible for loop-invariant addresses (scUnknown) since then the bounds are the address itself. Interestingly, we used allow this for the special case when the loop-invariant address happens to also be an SCEVAddRecExpr (in an outer loop). There are a couple more loops that are vectorized in SPEC after this. My guess is that the main reason we don't see more because for example a loop-invariant load is vectorized into a splat vector with several vector-inserts. This is likely to make the vectorization unprofitable. I.e. we don't notice that a later LICM will move all of this out of the loop so the cost estimate should really be 0. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@264243 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
