In rs6000-overload.def, the vsx_ version built-ins are overridden to vec_
version. And the return types of vec_ version is inline with those defined
in PVIPR. So there should be no problem. Sorry for that.
[VEC_VEEDP, vec_extract_exp_dp, __builtin_vec_extract_exp_dp]
vull __builtin_vec_extract_exp_dp (vd);
VEEDP VEEDP_DEPR1
[VEC_VEESP, vec_extract_exp_sp, __builtin_vec_extract_exp_sp]
vui __builtin_vec_extract_exp_sp (vf);
VEESP VEESP_DEPR1
[VEC_VEE, vec_extract_exp, __builtin_vec_extract_exp]
vui __builtin_vec_extract_exp (vf);
VEESP
vull __builtin_vec_extract_exp (vd);
VEEDP
Thanks
