Subject: [PATCH] 8300257: C2: vectorization fails on some simple Memory
The reason for the crash is that after moving an invariant out of the loop, the vector store instruction gets an unaligned address of the array.
;; B20: # out( B20 B21 ) <- in( B19 B20 ) Loop( B20-B20 inner main of N111 strip mined) Freq: 1.04314e+07
0xf3dbdd10: sub r5, r7, r6
0xf3dbdd14: add r8, r4, r5
0xf3dbdd18: mvn ip, #2
0xf3dbdd1c: add r9, r8, #5
0xf3dbdd20: add r5, r8, ip
=> 0xf3dbdd24: vstr d13, [r9]
The issue can be reproduced using this simple program:
public class TestBooleanVect {
public static void main(String args[]) {
boolean[] a = new boolean[997];
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
int limit = a.length-1;
for (int j = 0; j < a.length; j+=1) {
a[limit-j] = false;
}
}
}
}
The alignment of Array likely changes on all platforms, when we move the invariant out of the loop. ARM32 doesn't allow unaligned access by vector instruction and crashes.
