Bug ID: 61731
Summary: Feature request: "generic" builtin for "conversion
operator" among vectors
Product: gcc
Version: 4.9.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P3
Component: target
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: vincenzo.innocente at cern dot ch
gcc is lacking a mechanism to convert (C-style cast) efficiently
"extended-vectors" among different types.
clang has recently introduce a "__builtin_convertvector"
(see few lines below
http://clang.llvm.org/docs/LanguageExtensions.html#langext-builtin-shufflevector)
I would like to ask if it is possible to implement the same feature in gcc.
An agreed syntax with "clang" would be welcome.
