[clang][aarch64] ACLE: Support implicit casts between GNU and SVE vectors
This patch adds support for implicit casting between GNU vectors and SVE vectors when `__ARM_FEATURE_SVE_BITS==N`, as defined by the Arm C Language Extensions (ACLE, version 00bet5, section 3.7.3.3) for SVE [1]. This behavior makes it possible to use GNU vectors with ACLE functions that operate on VLAT. For example: typedef int8_t vec __attribute__((vector_size(32))); vec f(vec x) { return svasrd_x(svptrue_b8(), x, 1); } Tests are also added for implicit casting between GNU and fixed-length SVE vectors created by the 'arm_sve_vector_bits' attribute. This behavior makes it possible to use VLST with existing interfaces that operate on GNUT. For example: typedef int8_t vec1 __attribute__((vector_size(32))); void f(vec1); #if __ARM_FEATURE_SVE_BITS==256 && __ARM_FEATURE_SVE_VECTOR_OPERATORS typedef svint8_t vec2 __attribute__((arm_sve_vector_bits(256))); void g(vec2 x) { f(x); } // OK #endif The `__ARM_FEATURE_SVE_VECTOR_OPERATORS` feature macro indicates interoperability with the GNU vector extension. This is the first patch providing support for this feature, which once complete will be enabled by the `-msve-vector-bits` flag, as the `__ARM_FEATURE_SVE_BITS` feature currently is.
