Which hardware (remember GCC is a generic compiler)? VMX/Altivec and
SPU actually does not have different instructions for bitwise
and/ior/xor for different vector types (it is all the same
instruction). I have ran into ICEs with even bitwise on vector
float/double on x86 also in the past which is the other reason why I
disabled them. Since this is an extension, it would be nice if it was
nicely defined extension which means disabling them for vector
float/double.
It *was* neatly defined:
"The types defined in this manner can be used with a subset of normal
C operations. Currently, GCC will allow using the following operators on
these types: +, -, *, /, unary minus, ^, |, &, ~.".
So can you, pretty please, also patch the documentation and maybe point
to the Altivec spec as it's obviously the only one relevant no matter
what platform you're on?
