this patch copies some more vector extensions from the C front-end to

What was the reluctance? It seems clear to me that if we support the type,
we should support these operations.

In comments 1 and 7, Richard Guenther didn't seem too enthusiastic about
any vector-related extension to the C++ front-end.
Some users (other PRs) asked instead that we make vector types class-like
so users can define their own operator<(vec,vec).
Following the OpenCL standard makes sense to me.
I should really take a look at that standard...
I don't know either.
+ if (TREE_TYPE (type0) != TREE_TYPE (type1))
I think this should use same_type_ignoring_top_level_qualifiers_p.
Hmm, I assume you mean
same_type_ignoring_top_level_qualifiers_p (type0, type1)
which would replace both this test and
TYPE_VECTOR_SUBPARTS (type0) != TYPE_VECTOR_SUBPARTS (type1)
below? I copied this directly from the C front-end, which I guess split
the test to have 2 different error messages. I could call
same_type_ignoring_top_level_qualifiers_p and only if it fails do more
specific tests to determine the error message (or I could even merge the 2
error messages, "vectors with different types" should be good enough).
Did I understand your suggestion correctly?
Thank you for your comments,
