Would it be possible to add those, as far as know, new casting intrinsics?
As ICC8.1 doesn't support straight C casts (neither does msvc2k3), they are
bound to appear sooner or later in code.
Excerpt from the only documentation i've found about them:
Intrinsics for Casting Support
This version of the Intel C++ Compiler supports casting between
various SP, DP, and INT vector types. These intrinsics do not convert
values; they just change the type.
extern __m128 _mm_castpd_ps(__m128d in);
extern __m128i _mm_castpd_si128(__m128d in);
extern __m128d _mm_castps_pd(__m128 in);
extern __m128i _mm_castps_si128(__m128 in);
extern __m128 _mm_castsi128_ps(__m128i in);
extern __m128d _mm_castsi128_pd(__m128i in);
