The vect_transform_stmt function within GCC’s tree vectorizer previously returned a value indicating whether statement transformation occurred. With recent changes that moved SLP (Straight-Line Pattern) elision to postprocessing, this return value is no longer necessary. The function has been modified to return void, simplifying its interface and removing dead code.
