Question

How do I get the compiler to generate NEON instructions?

Answer

Use the options -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=softfp. The compiler will generate code for NEON.

If you also use the -ftree-vectorize option, the compiler will attempt to automatically vectorize loops. The option -ftree-vectorizer-verbose=1 will display information on the number of vectorized loops and their locations. Using the option -ftree-vectorizer-verbose with a value greater than 1 is not supported.
