In general there is a conflict within gcc between treating vectors as unitary types and treating them as collections. In this case we are treating them as unary. However, I think that by analogy to the way we handle arithmetic, and given the existence of instructions like cvtdq2ps in real vector processors, I think it would be better to handle converstions on an element by element basis. That is, I think this is a bug. Ian
