[Bug c/28921] New: vector of a pointer type does not give a warning or error that we are ignoring vector

[pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org]

Testcase:
typedef char *cptr;

char *a;

__attribute__ ((vector_size(16))) cptr t;

int f(void)
{

__attribute__ ((vector_size(16))) int t1 =
   (__attribute__ ((vector_size(16))) int )t;
}

We get an error about converting t to a vector int but t looks to me a vector
of a char pointer.  This happens with both the C and C++ front-ends.
