>Description:
Both vec_cmplt and vec_cmpgt generate the same vcmpgtfp instruction. vec_cmplt should generate vcmpgtfp and switch the second and third arguments, which is not happening. Occurs at any optimization level. I assume short and int versions may be broken as well, I only have tested vector floats.
>How-To-Repeat:
void VecCmpltIsBroken (void)
{
	vector float zero    = (vector float) {0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0};
	vector float smaller = (vector float) {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0};
	vector float bigger  = (vector float) {5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0};
	vector bool int cmp;
			
	cmp = vec_cmplt (bigger, smaller);
	bigger = vec_sel (bigger, zero, cmp);
	PrintFloatVector (bigger); printf ("\n");

	cmp = vec_cmpgt (bigger, smaller);
	bigger = vec_sel (bigger, zero, cmp);
	PrintFloatVector (bigger); printf ("\n");
}


    lvx v31,0,r9
    vcmpgtfp v0,v31,v29
    vxor v30,v30,v30
    vsel v31,v31,v30,v0
    vor v2,v31,v31 
    bl L_PrintFloatVector$stub
    li r3,10       
    bl L_putchar$stub
    vcmpgtfp v0,v31,v29
>Fix:
Workaround: Only use vec_cmpgt and switch arguments order in C.
