[cfe-dev] Casting scalars to vectors

[John Thompson]

Anton,

Clang was generating an error on vector initializers, when all the vector
slots are not provided, i.e.:

vector unsigned int v = (vector unsigned int)(vector int)(-1);

Instead of:

vector unsigned int v = (vector unsigned int)(vector int)(-1, -1, -1, -1);

I'm seeing these kinds of statements in some headers in the PS3 sdk, which
gcc allows.

I've checked in a fix and revised the altivec tests.  (Sorry I missed a
test last night, and broke the build.)

I have a question, though (for Anton or anyone).  What will the initializers
be for the unspecified slots?  Will they be 0?  What does gcc do?
