What header is needed "__vector" when using altivec support?

What header is needed "__vector" when using altivec support?

[Ernest L. Williams Jr.]

Hi,

I am trying to build altivec code using GCC and I can't get past first
base:

========================================================================
The following functions are made available by including <altivec.h> and
using -maltivec and -mabi=altivec. The functions implement the
functionality described in Motorola's AltiVec Programming Interface
Manual.
========================================================================

My code snippet looks like:
========================================================

#include <altivecLib.h>


void testFormattedIO()
{
__vector unsigned char s;
__vector signed int I;
__vector signed short SI;
__vector __pixel P;
__vector float F;

/* 8-bits per element */
s = (__vector unsigned char)
{’0’,’1’,’2’,’3’,’4’,’5’,’6’,’7’,’8’,’9’,’A’,’B’,’C’,’D’,’E’,’F’};
====================================================================

The header does not define "__vector".  What is the deal?
Can anyone point me in the right direction?




I keep getting:
/ade/vxWorks/6.2/gnu/3.3.2-vxworks-6.2/x86-linux2/bin/ccppc -c
-D_POSIX_SOURCE       -DCPU=PPC604    -DvxWorks
-include /ade/vxWorks/6.2/vxworks-6.2/target/h/vxWorks.h  -ansi  -O3
-Wall     -mcpu=604 -mstrict-align -mlongcall -maltivec  -mabi=altivec

../altivecTest.c: In function `testFormattedIO':
../altivecTest.c:7: error: `__vector' undeclared (first use in this
function)




Thanks,

Ernest:

I think you can answer your own question by looking carefully at your  
e-mail and comparing these two statements:

Perhaps including <altivec.h> instead of <altivecLib.h>  would fix  
your problem? Hope this helps.

Yes, that got it for me.  I just did not realize where altivec.h was
hiding.  For vxWorks it lives here:
=======================================================================================================

<Install_Dir>/gnu/3.3.2-vxworks-6.2/x86-linux2/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-wrs-vxworks/3.3.2/include/altivec.h
========================================================================================================

I am in business now. :)

Thanks,
Ernesto
