[fpc-devel] Problems with MM types (__m128 etc).

[J. Gareth Moreton]

Also I just raised an internal error on the trunk:

program m128test;

type
   UnalignedArray = array[0..1] of Double;

function Test3(V1, V2: UnalignedArray): UnalignedArray; vectorcall;
begin
   Test3[1] := V1[1] + V2[1];
end;

begin
end.

Compiler fails with "m128.pp(7,1) Fatal: Internal error 200410108" under 
x86_64-win64 (location (7,1) is the "begin" keyword).  I'll be making a 
bug report of this as a reminder that I need to fix it.  In this 
situation, the error does not occur if 'vectorcall' is omitted, and the 
correct behaviour is that the result and parameters aren't vectorised 
because they aren't aligned to a 16-byte boundary.

(On a side note, I'd ask if it's permissible to add support for "align 
16" and the like for regular types and not just records. For example, 
"type UnalignedArray = array[0..1] of Double align 16;", which is 
essentially __m128d).
