HN comment orderI’ve had an idea for a while now, of writing a tutorial that works similar to this one, but backwards. I have no time to write the tutorial, but here’s the idea: Behind the scenes, write a short C program, and compile it into LLVM IR through Clang. Present the code first as its LLVM IR representation, then work through how you’d manually decompile it back into C, hopefully giving a result that will compile back to the same LLVM…
AFAIK, auto-vectorization has the same limitation in Rust as in C and C++ - it cannot be required. Hence, it is very easy to break the vectorization in brittle ways, without even noticing the issue. It would be nice to have a sort of autovec-or-error annotation for preventing this.
