If horizontal reduction tree starts from the binary operation that is
used in PHI node, but this PHI is not used in horizontal reduction, we
may end up with extra addition of this PHI node after vectorization.
Here is an example:
%phi = phi i32 [ %tmp, %end], ... ... %tmp = add i32 %tmp1, %tmp2 end:
after vectorization we always have something like:
%phi = phi i32 [ %tmp, %end], ... ... %red = extractelement <8 x 32> %vec.red, 0 %tmp = add i32 %red, %phi end:
even if %phi is not used in reduction tree. Patch considers these PHI
nodes as extra arguments and considers them in the final result iff they
really used in reduction.
You have a separate patch to get this flag back, right?
