Yup, even though you can declare a vector<float4>, you can't do anything useful
with it.
typedef float cl_float4[4] __attribute__((aligned(16)));
#include <vector>
int main()
{
std::vector<cl_float4> vals(1);
cl_float4 a = {1.0f, 2.0f, 3.0f, 4.0f};
vals.push_back(a);
}
/usr/local/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../include/c++/4.1.2/bits/stl_algobase.h:412:
error: ISO C++ forbids assignment of arrays
Does seem strange to allow vector<float4> to be compilable, but eh, lesson
learned, stay away from array types in C++.
