[SLP] Don't vectorize loads of non-packed types (like i1, i2).
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Summary:
Given an array of i2 elements, 4 consecutive scalar loads will be lowered to
i8-sized loads and thus will access 4 consecutive bytes in memory. If we
vectorize these loads into a single <4 x i2> load, it'll access only 1 byte in
memory. Hence, we should prohibit vectorization in such cases.

PS: Initial patch was proposed by Arnold.
