Minor optimization results for this code with incremental addition

I am compiling this code:

#include <cstdint>

template <typename T>
struct vec{ T v[4]; };

template <typename T>
vec<T> foo (vec<T> x, vec<T> y, vec<T> z) {
    return {
        x.v[0] + y.v[0] * z.v[0],
        x.v[1] + y.v[1] * z.v[1],
        x.v[2] + y.v[2] * z.v[2],
        x.v[3] + y.v[3] * z.v[3]
    };
}

template vec<int64_t> foo ( vec<int64_t> x, vec<int64_t> y, vec<int64_t> z);
template vec<float> foo ( vec<float> x, vec<float> y, vec<float> z);

at maximum optimization, with clang 6.0 and gcc 7.3. But the results are strange:

  • No compiler uses compiled multiply additions - for integers or floats, although they seem like an obvious choice. Why?
  • gcc uses bazillion instructions for the int64_t case (not for the floating point case), much more than clang and much more than itself -O2. Is it really faster?

clang 6.0:

vec<long> foo<long>(vec<long>, vec<long>, vec<long>):             # @vec<long> foo<long>(vec<long>, vec<long>, vec<long>)
        mov     rax, qword ptr [rsp + 72]
        imul    rax, qword ptr [rsp + 40]
        add     rax, qword ptr [rsp + 8]
        mov     qword ptr [rdi], rax
        mov     rax, qword ptr [rsp + 80]
        imul    rax, qword ptr [rsp + 48]
        add     rax, qword ptr [rsp + 16]
        mov     qword ptr [rdi + 8], rax
        mov     rax, qword ptr [rsp + 88]
        imul    rax, qword ptr [rsp + 56]
        add     rax, qword ptr [rsp + 24]
        mov     qword ptr [rdi + 16], rax
        mov     rax, qword ptr [rsp + 96]
        imul    rax, qword ptr [rsp + 64]
        add     rax, qword ptr [rsp + 32]
        mov     qword ptr [rdi + 24], rax
        mov     rax, rdi
        ret
vec<float> foo<float>(vec<float>, vec<float>, vec<float>):             # @vec<float> foo<float>(vec<float>, vec<float>, vec<float>)
        mulps   xmm2, xmm4
        addps   xmm0, xmm2
        mulps   xmm3, xmm5
        addps   xmm1, xmm3
        ret

GCC 7.3:
