Problem 3 is bogus as vector extensions are generic and use what ever exist for your target. Now the alignment should also be constraint by BIGGEST_ALIGNMENT . I am in the process of rewriting the vector extension documentation so it should become more clear that it is a generic extension and has nothing to do with the target at all except for the fact they become faster. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36212
