+ Loop Vectorizer
+ ---------------
+ We've continued the work on the loop vectorizer. The loop vectorizer now has the following features:
+ # Loops with unknown trip count.
+ # Runtime checks of pointers
+ # Reductions, Inductions
+ # If Conversion
+ # Pointer induction variables
+ # Reverse iterators
+ # Vectorization of mixed types
+ # Vectorization of function calls
+ # Partial unrolling during vectorization
+
+ We've also improved the X86 and ARM cost model.
