--- Comment #4 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
I am going to make a slight change to the documentation.
Right now it reads:
```
All the basic integer types can be used as base types, both as signed and as
unsigned: char, short, int, long, long long. In addition, float and double can
be used to build floating-point vector types.

```

But I am going to add a mention of typedefs.
Something like:
```
All the basic integer types can be used as base types (and typedefs of them),
both as signed and as unsigned: char, short, int, long, long long. In addition,
float and double can be used to build floating-point vector types.

```

Which then will fix the documentation here.

There is still more to be done in vector documentation but that is PR 107796 .

    Document that vector_size works with typedefs [PR92880]

    This just adds a clause to make it more obvious that the vector_size
    attribute extension works with typedefs.
    Note this whole section needs a rewrite to be a similar format as other
    extensions. But that is for another day.

            the base_types could be a typedef of them.

Documentation has been updated to include typedefs (though not using typedefs
as an example).
