--- Comment #2 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> --- (In reply to Andrew Pinski from comment #1) > I suspect a == b is all equals and not element by element equals. I am wrong. >From the manual: Vector comparison is supported with standard comparison operators: ==, !=, <, <=, >, >=. Comparison operands can be vector expressions of integer-type or real-type. Comparison between integer-type vectors and real-type vectors are not supported. The result of the comparison is a vector of the same width and number of elements as the comparison operands with a signed integral element type. Vectors are compared element-wise producing 0 when comparison is false and -1 (constant of the appropriate type where all bits are set) otherwise. Consider the following example. typedef int v4si __attribute__ ((vector_size (16))); v4si a = {1,2,3,4}; v4si b = {3,2,1,4}; v4si c; c = a > b; /* The result would be {0, 0,-1, 0} */ c = a == b; /* The result would be {0,-1, 0,-1} */
