bswap: Handle vector CONSTRUCTORs [PR96239]
The following patch teaches the bswap pass to handle for small (2/4/8 byte
long) vectors a CONSTRUCTOR by determining if the bytes of the constructor
come from non-vector sources and are either nop or bswap and changing the
CONSTRUCTOR in that case to VIEW_CONVERT_EXPR from scalar integer to
the vector type.
Unfortunately, as I found after the patch was written, due to pass ordering
this doesn't really fix the original testcase, just the one I wrote,
because both loop and slp vectorization is done only after the bswap pass.
A possible way out of that would be to perform just this particular bswap
optimization (i.e. for CONSTRUCTOR assignments with integral vector types
call find_bswap_or_nop and bswap_replace if successful) also during the
store merging pass, it isn't really a store, but the store merging pass
already performs bswapping when handling store, so it wouldn't be that big
hack. What do you think?
