[RISCV] Introduce unaligned-vector-mem feature This allows us to model and thus test transforms which are legal only when a vector load with less than element alignment are supported. This was originally part of D126085, but was split out as we didn't have a good example of such a transform. As can be seen in the test diffs, we have the recently added concat_vector(loads) -> strided_load transform (from D147713) which now benefits from the unaligned support. While making this change, I realized that we actually *do* support unaligned vector loads and stores of all types via conversion to i8 element type. For contiguous loads and stores without masking, we actually already implement this in the backend - though we don't tell the optimizer that. For indexed, lowering to i8 requires complicated addressing. For indexed and segmented, we'd have to use indexed. All around, doesn't seem worthwhile pursuing, but makes for an interesting observation. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D149375
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.

The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
