Function get_related_vectype_for_scalar_type doesn't exist. There is one named
get_vectype_for_scalar_type, which in turn calls
get_vectype_for_scalar_type_and_size. In that
last function I already have 2 changes to prevent NULL_TREE being returned for
_Complex double.
1. In the first if statement of the function, added new condition
!is_complex_float_mode (...),
with arguments identical to those of the existing !is_int_mode and
!is_float_mode conditions.
2. In the 2nd if statement, the else-if has a new condition
!COMPLEX_FLOAT_TYPE_P (scalar_type)
After those changes, NULL_TREE is returned by a clause of the if statement
whose first condition
is if (known_eq (size, 0U)). The 2nd part of the else-if returns true for
!mode_for_vector (...).
Unless the correct path should involve a call similar to
build_nonstandard_integer_type in the
2nd if statement, I still end up requiring the change to mode_for_vector as
in my last post.
