f16-p8-p16-pointers.c

This bug is in Clang frontend. The test case is in attachment.

There are warnings about float16_t *, poly8_t * and poly16_t * when compiling
into AArch64 NEON code. To run the test case(AArch64):
./Debug+Asserts/bin/clang -cc1 -internal-isystem
./Debug+Asserts/lib/clang/3.4/include  -triple aarch64-none-linux-gnu
-target-feature +neon    -ffp-contract=fast -S -O3 -o - f16-p8-p16-pointer.c

f16-p8-p16-pointers.c:4:19: warning: incompatible pointer types assigning to
'const unsigned short *' from 'const float16_t *' (aka 'const half *')
  return vld1_f16(a);
                  ^
./Debug+Asserts/lib/clang/3.4/include/arm_neon.h:1456:38: note: expanded from
macro 'vld1_f16'
  (float16x4_t)__builtin_neon_vld1_v(__a, 6); })
                                     ^
...

The warning message of ARM NEON is like AArch64 but only float16_t pointer has
warning. To run the test case(ARM):
./Debug+Asserts/bin/clang -cc1 -internal-isystem
./Debug+Asserts/lib/clang/3.4/include -triple thumbv7s-apple-darwin -target-abi
apcs-gnu -target-cpu swift -ffreestanding -Os -S -o - f16-p8-p16-pointer.c


arm_neon.h and the test case have no problem. There may be some problem in
frontend but has not been found yet.</pre>
