+Global Structures Alias Analysis
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Access to global structures can also be vectorized, with alias analysis being
+used to make sure accesses don't alias. Run-time checks can also be added on
+pointer access to structure members.
+
+Many variations are supported, but some that rely on undefined behaviour being
+ignored (as other compilers do) are still being left un-vectorized.

+.. code-block:: c++
+
+ struct { int A[100], K, B[100]; } Foo;
+
+ int foo() {
+ for (int i = 0; i < 100; ++i)
+ Foo.A[i] = Foo.B[i] + 100;
+ }

Vectorization of function calls
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

+-----+-----+---------+
+The loop vectorizer knows about special instructions on the target and will
+vectorize a loop containing a function call that maps to the instructions. For
+example, the loop below will be vectorized on Intel x86 if the SSE4.1 roundps
+instruction is available.
+
+.. code-block:: c++
+
+ void foo(float *f) {
+ for (int i = 0; i != 1024; ++i)
+ f[i] = floorf(f[i]);
+ }
