>Description:
Compiling this code: (g++ -msse)

struct v8qi {
	typedef int T __attribute__ ((mode(V8QI)));
	v8qi() {
		long long int tmp;
		__builtin_ia32_punpckhbw((T) tmp, (T) tmp);
	};
};

does NOT work.  The error is:
test16.cpp:5: error: cannot convert `int' to `vector signed char' for argument
   `1' to `vector signed char __builtin_ia32_punpckhbw(vector signed char,
   vector signed char)'

But when you move the typedef out of the struct, you get this:
typedef int T __attribute__ ((mode(V8QI)));
struct v8qi {
	v8qi() {
		long long int tmp;
		__builtin_ia32_punpckhbw((T) tmp, (T) tmp);
	};
};

which DOES compile!!  It seems that using __attribute__ ((mode(..))) on a typedef inside a struct/class does not work.  Any ideas?
