And I think he's right; we probably can't do this in general. vector types really are just bags of bits on many platforms ;) https://reviews.llvm.org/D32260 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
