Hi!

The following testcases show two bugs in build_vec_init, one
introduced with either since my r15-5958 (when using #embed) or
my r15-6339 (when not using it but large init transformed into
RAW_DATA_CST), problem that the FOR_EACH_CONSTRUCTOR_ELT loop
in build_vec_init doesn't handle RAW_DATA_CST, and another since
Marek's r15-7810 which has added limited RANGE_EXPR support to that loop,
but only changed the num_initialized_elts value computation and
has not actually also added a runtime loop over the range to initialize
multiple elements to the same value.  The lack of RAW_DATA_CST handling
causes ICEs (during expansion or later on), while the lack of proper
RANGE_EXPR handling causes wrong-code.

The following patch attempts to fix both.

RAW_DATA_CST has 2 separate variants of handling it, one is when
the types match (digested is true) and it is char/signed char/unsigned
char/std::byte array, in that case (especially if it is huge initializer,
but RAW_DATA_CST already implies 62+ elements) it emits a setting of
MEM_REF with ARRAY_TYPE for the RAW_DATA_LENGTH bytes to a CONSTRUCTOR
with the RAW_DATA_CST in it which gimplifier handles (but of course for
try_const const_vec it uses the RAW_DATA_CST directly).
The second variant is for other types or non-digested one, in that case
RAW_DATA_CST is peeled appart into individual INTEGER_CSTs.

As for RANGE_EXPR, for try_const const_vec it uses the RANGE_EXPR field
as before, but for the runtime code it puts the
one_init/base increment/iterator decrement stmts into a loop which iterates
range_expr_nelts times.

The reason for the first hunk is to optimize the CONSTRUCTOR from what
the preprocessor emits, i.e.
CPP_NUMBER CPP_COMMA CPP_EMBED CPP_COMMA CPP_NUMBER
turned into
INTEGER_CST RAW_DATA_CST INTEGER_CST
into just RAW_DATA_CST covering also the first and last number.
This is something I'm worried about though, because braced_lists_to_strings
can also turn the init into a STRING_CST instead of CONSTRUCTOR, and
while STRING_CST handling is there (and is certainly more efficient than
the previous runtime of storing one constant at a time), it doesn't handle
the try_const case.
So I'm wondering if it wouldn't be safer to use:
   if (init
       && TREE_CODE (init) == CONSTRUCTOR
       && TREE_CODE (TREE_TYPE (init)) == ARRAY_TYPE
       && INTEGRAL_TYPE_P (type)
       && same_type_p (type, TREE_TYPE (TREE_TYPE (init))))
     {
       tree new_init = braced_lists_to_strings (TREE_TYPE (init), init);
       if (!try_const || TREE_CODE (new_init) == CONSTRUCTOR)
        init = new_init;
     }
so do it only for integral types (braced_lists_to_strings wants to handle
also elements with ARRAY_TYPEs) and ignore braced_lists_to_strings result
for try_const if STRING_CST is returned.  Or try to handle even
STRING_CST try_const somehow (perhaps by remembering orig init and using
that in const_vec and only use STRING_CST at runtime?  Thoughts on that?

Anyway, bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux and i686-linux, ok for trunk?
Or somehow tweak the first hunk as mentioned above?

iterator is an internal ptrdiff_t, it would be very surprising if subtraction resulted in error_mark_node.

...similarly, we know base is a pointer. Though I suppose that could fail if 'type' isn't complete. But that should have been detected before we got here; I'd rather these all be asserts.

OK with those changes.
