[Bug c++/26445] New: SSE byte-by-byte load instruction fails to compile

["gchernis11 at msn dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

Call to the following function ...


/*inline */ void ConvertFloatSSE(void *inBuff, void *outBuff, int len)
{
   unsigned char* inByteBuffer   = reinterpret_cast<unsigned char *>(inBuff);
   float*         outFloatBuffer = reinterpret_cast<float         *>(outBuff);

   for(int i = 0; i<len/4; i++)
   {
      __m128i register1 = _mm_set_epi8(
                                       *inByteBuffer    , *(inByteBuffer+ 1),
*(inByteBuffer+ 2), 0,
                                       *(inByteBuffer+3), *(inByteBuffer+ 4),
*(inByteBuffer+ 5), 0,
                                       *(inByteBuffer+6), *(inByteBuffer+ 7),
*(inByteBuffer+ 8), 0,
                                       *(inByteBuffer+9), *(inByteBuffer+10),
*(inByteBuffer+11), 0
                                      );
      __m128i register2 = _mm_srai_epi32  (register1, 8);
      __m128  register3 = _mm_cvtepi32_ps (register2);
                      _mm_store_ps    (outFloatBuffer, register3);
      outFloatBuffer += 4;
      inByteBuffer += 12;
   }
}
