[Sema] Make extended vectors of `bool` an error. 2016-01-28T01:38:18+00:00 George Burgess IV george.burgess.iv@gmail.com 2016-01-28T01:38:18+00:00 a2f29fa694214e622ea21e6c5b541d406970bf4f In OpenCL, `bool` vectors are a reserved type, and are therefore illegal. Outside of OpenCL, if we try to make an extended vector of N `bool`s, Clang will lower it to an `[N x i1]`. LLVM has no ABI for bitvectors, so lots of operations on such vectors are thoroughly broken. As a result, this patch makes them illegal in everything else, as well. :) Differential Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D15721 llvm-svn: 259011

Add the intrinsic __builtin_convertvector 2013-09-18T03:29:45+00:00 Hal Finkel hfinkel@anl.gov 2013-09-18T03:29:45+00:00 c4d7c82c7f7356ac9aca70d67593479897ad7f2b LLVM supports applying conversion instructions to vectors of the same number of elements (fptrunc, fptosi, etc.) but there had been no way for a Clang user to cause such instructions to be generated when using builtin vector types. C-style casting on vectors is already defined in terms of bitcasts, and so cannot be used for these conversions as well (without leading to a very confusing set of semantics). As a result, this adds a __builtin_convertvector intrinsic (patterned after the OpenCL __builtin_astype intrinsic). This is intended to aid the creation of vector intrinsic headers that create generic IR instead of target-dependent intrinsics (in other words, this is a generic _mm_cvtepi32_ps). As noted in the documentation, the action of __builtin_convertvector is defined in terms of the action of a C-style cast on each vector element. llvm-svn: 190915
