Agree that the code is wrong, and the vectorizer appears to be out of line. Out of curiosity, does anything change if the "const" is taken off of const char* source? It shouldn't make a difference without __restrict__, but I'm grasping at straws for why the vectorizer thinks source and target can be dealiased. In any case there shouldn't be anything target-specific about this bug, so opening a GCC tree-optimization bug is called for... If you toss me a reduced test case I can also take a look at the vect-details dump to narrow it down a bit, but there have been a lot of changes to the vectorizer since I last poked my nose in there. (-fvect-cost-model=dynamic didn't even exist, so I don't know what that is.)
