I noticed that in fortran/convert.c the convert() function calls
convert_to_vector() if the target type is VECTOR_TYPE. When is that
function triggered in Fortran frontend? Since Fortran language doesn't
support vector type, why does it convert something to a vector expression?
At the top it says:
/* This file contains the functions for converting C expressions
to different data types. The only entry point is `convert'.
Every language front end must have a `convert' function
but what kind of conversions it does will depend on the language. */
/* copied from the f77 frontend I think */
/* copied from c-convert.c without significant modification*/
I don't think this file has ever been modified in any non-mechanical
way. So I'd assume that its contents are historical / accidental.
