I modified WidenVecRes_Binary match WidenVecRes_{Unary/Ternary} and it does the promotion and generates much better code. Why is WidenVecRes_Binary so much more complicated than the Unary/Binary functions? None of the operations in the cases for WidenVecRes_Binary seem any more special

This is a bug in the implementation of WidenVecRes_Binary. On line 1546 it assumes that “Widen” is the last phase of type-legalization and we check if the result is a legal type. But actually we want to continue and promote the elements of the vector. In other cases we may want to widen (to the next power of two) and later split in half because the vector is too big.
