I think, like Ian, that conversions from V4SF to V4SI, via an ordinary cast, should perform a conversion; this should be the same as converting each of the individual floats to int. Then, since the bit-preserving conversion is also useful, we should have another syntax for that.
However, the Altivec situation, coupled with the fact that bit-preserving conversion is our current behavior, makes me think that, what I might think the ideal language-design ought to be may have little relevance. Do people think it's viable to change the default kind of conversion, on targets other than Altivec? -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery [EMAIL PROTECTED] (650) 331-3385 x713
