`address_space` could be argued to be similarly aggressive, `_Atomic` as a qualifier specifier also has the same property of not requiring the size and alignment to be the same. (Note, I'm not saying to do things one way or the other, just pointing out that the type system is filled with oddities already.) I think vector types as a type attribute are reasonable, at least at first blush. However, if we're talking about redesigning the feature to expose it in a more natural way, we should consider what proposals are in front of the C and C++ standards committees. For example, this is an in-progress proposal that's expected to come in front of WG14 at some point (so the committee has not seen it or weighed in on it): https://www.aerotri.es/C/Array_notation_for_vectorization.pdf https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/130177 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
