Previously we could only vectorize FP reductions if fast math was enabled, as this allows us to
reorder FP operations. However, it may still be beneficial to vectorize the loop by moving
the reduction inside the vectorized loop and making sure that the scalar reduction value
be an input to the horizontal reduction, e.g:
%phi = phi float [ 0.0, %entry ], [ %reduction, %vector_body ] %load = load <8 x float> %reduction = call float @llvm.vector.reduce.fadd.v8f32(float %phi, <8 x float> %load)
This patch adds a new flag (IsOrdered) to RecurrenceDescriptor and makes use of the changes added
by D75069 as much as possible, which already teaches the vectorizer about in-loop reductions.
For now in-order reduction support is off by default and controlled with the -enable-strict-reductions flag.
Am I correct in saying that Ordered reductions are a subset of floating point reductions that
And that we can't easily get this info from just the FMF or the ExactFPMathInst?
