when a BUILD_VECTOR is created out of a sequence of EXTRACT_VECTOR_ELT with a
specific pattern sequence, either <0, 2, 4, ...> or <1, 3, 5, ...>, replace the
BUILD_VECTOR with either vuzp1 or vuzp2.
With this patch LLVM generates the following code for the first function fun1 in the testcase:
adrp x8, .LCPI0_0
ldr q0, [x8, :lo12:.LCPI0_0]
tbl v0.16b, { v0.16b }, v0.16b
ext v1.16b, v0.16b, v0.16b, #8
uzp1 v0.8b, v0.8b, v1.8b
str d0, [x8]
ret
Without this patch LLVM currently generates this code:
adrp x8, .LCPI0_0
ldr q0, [x8, :lo12:.LCPI0_0]
tbl v0.16b, { v0.16b }, v0.16b
mov v1.16b, v0.16b
mov v1.b[1], v0.b[2]
mov v1.b[2], v0.b[4]
mov v1.b[3], v0.b[6]
mov v1.b[4], v0.b[8]
mov v1.b[5], v0.b[10]
