I think there should be vector versions of common conversions in most modern vector instruction sets, e.g. both ARM64 and X86 (with varying levels of support, depending on the supported vector extensions) have vector instructions for sign extend i32 -> i64 and floating point extension float -> double: https://godbolt.org/z/jx4Ya4PP5. John, please let me know if you were referring to something else, but IIUC then it would be best to emit vector conversion for the full vector (that should also be the easiest in terms of codegen). More recent instruction set versions also have specialized instructions for things like dot-products, that also extend/truncate some of their operands and/or results., which we could also make use of easily if we have the vector conversions.
