Restructure vect_analyze_loop
Once vect_analyze_loop has found a valid loop_vec_info X, we carry on searching for alternatives if (1) X doesn't satisfy simdlen or (2) we want to vectorize the epilogue of X. I have a patch that optionally adds a third reason: we want to see if there are cheaper alternatives to X. This patch restructures vect_analyze_loop so that it's easier to add more reasons for continuing. There's supposed to be no behavioural change. If we wanted to, we could allow vectorisation of epilogues once loop->simdlen has been reached by changing "loop->simdlen" to "simdlen" in the new vect_epilogues condition. That should be a separate change though. 2019-11-06 Richard Sandiford <richard.sandiford@arm.com> gcc/ * tree-vect-loop.c (vect_analyze_loop): Break out of the main loop when we've finished, rather than returning directly from the loop. Use a local variable to track whether we're still searching for the preferred simdlen. Make vect_epilogues record whether the next iteration should try to treat the loop as an epilogue.
