In visitSCALAR_TO_VECTOR we try to optimise cases such as:
scalar_to_vector (extract_vector_elt %x)
into vector shuffles of %x. However, it led to numerous warnings
when %x is a scalable vector type, so for now I've changed the
code to only perform the combination on fixed length vectors.
Although we probably could change the code to work with scalable
vectors in certain cases, without a proper profit analysis it
doesn't seem worth it at the moment.
This change fixes up one of the warnings in:
llvm/test/CodeGen/AArch64/sve-merging-stores.ll
I've also added a simplified version of the same test to:
llvm/test/CodeGen/AArch64/sve-fp.ll
which already has checks for no warnings.
nit: This comment does the opposite of clarifying things for me. Maybe better to just remove it, as the suggestion is quite speculative anyway.
