Hi Zoltan, I think the bitcast operation is rather painless to use. And if you want to be able to execute it on a float vector you could try putting the and operation in a function with inline linkage and that would be all that's needed to convert over and back. BTW, bitcasting is a no-op conversion in actual code. --Sam Crow > >From: Zoltan Varga <vargaz at gmail.com>

Hi, The arguments to the 'and' instruction must be integer types or vectors of integer types. If I have a compiler whose source language has support for andps by having its own intrinsics, then I would have to generate code to convert the float vector into an int vector before passing it to llvm's and instruction, then convert the result back.
