https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17758 Issue ID: 17758 Summary: assignment of different vector types should require cast Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: x86_64 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 Component: dmd Assignee: nobody puremagic.com Reporter: code dawg.eu cat > bug.d << CODE void test() { __vector(float[4]) f4; __vector(uint[4]) u4; __vector(void[16]) v16; f4 = cast(typeof(f4)) u4; // OK f4 = u4; // should fail v16 = f4; // OK f4 = v16; // should fail f4 = cast(typeof(f4)) v16; // OK } CODE dmd -c bug It's somewhat broken that vectors of different types can be assigned without any casting. This is OK for implicit conversions to void16 vectors, but not for conversions from void16. --
