Re: Implicit conversion to a generic vector type
A new arithmeticish type would take more effort, I understand. Marc, are there plans to incorporate your patch, perhaps in an extended form, in a release any time soon? My apologies if I'm addressing these questions to the wrong person.

GCC 5.4 Release Candidate available from gcc.gnu.org
The first release candidate for GCC 5.4 is available from ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/snapshots/5.4.0-RC-20160527 and shortly its mirrors. It has been generated from SVN revision 236809. I have sofar bootstrapped the release candidate on x86_64-suse-linux-gnu. Please test the release candidate and report any issues to bugzilla. If all goes well I'd like to release GCC 5.4 at the beginning of next week.

Marc, are there plans to incorporate your patch, perhaps in an extended form, in a release any time soon? There is no plan either way. When someone is motivated enough (I am not, currently), they will submit a patch to gcc-patc...@gcc.gnu.org, which will be reviewed. Note that a patch needs to include testcases (see the files in gcc/testsuite/g++.dg for examples). If you are interested, you could give it a try... -- Marc Glisse
