elements than the result vector type. So, when an instruction like:
%8 = shufflevector <2 x float> %4, <2 x float> %7, <4 x i32> <i32 1, i32 0, i32 3, i32 2>
is translated to a DAG, each operand is changed to a concat_vectors node that appends 2 undef elements. That is:
shuffle [a,b], [c,d] is changed to:
shuffle [a,b,u,u], [c,d,u,u]
That's probably the right thing for x86 but for NEON, we'd much rather have:
shuffle [a,b,c,d], undef
Teach the DAG combiner how to do that transformation for ARM. Radar 8597007.
