Re: C++/altivec issue on 3.4 branch

[Kostadin Dabov <kostadin at terascale-euro dot com>]

For 3.2.x and 3.3.x, 

this approach would work for me: typedef 'vetor unsigned int' 
to sth. and use it insted, i.e.

#include <altivec.h>
typedef vector unsigned int vui;

class Constants {
     vui _pack0;
public:
     Constants() {
         _pack0 = (vui){0xdeadbeef, 0xabababab, 0x55555555, 
0x12345678};
     };

     inline vui deadbeef(void) const {
         return vec_splat(_pack0, 0);
     };
};

vui const_deadbeef(Constants &C)
{
     return C.deadbeef();
}
