Richard, there was a problem causing segfault in ix86_expand_vshuffle
which I have fixed with the patch attached.

Another thing I cannot figure out is the following case:
#define vector(elcount, type)  \
__attribute__((vector_size((elcount)*sizeof(type)))) type

vector (8, short) __attribute__ ((noinline))
f (vector (8, short) x, vector (8, short) y, vector (8, short) mask) {
    return  __builtin_shuffle (x, y, mask);
}

int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {
    vector (8, short) v0 = {argc, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7};
    vector (8, short) v1 = {argc, 1,argc,3,4,5,argc,7};
    vector (8, short) mask0 = {0,2,3,1,4,5,6,7};
    vector (8, short) v2;
    int i;

    v2 = f (v0, v1,  mask0);
    /* v2 =  __builtin_shuffle (v0, v1, mask0); */
    for (i = 0; i < 8; i ++)
      __builtin_printf ("%i, ", v2[i]);

    return 0;
}

I am compiling with support of ssse3, in my case it is ./xgcc -B. b.c
-O3 -mtune=core2 -march=core2

And I get 1, 1, 1, 3, 4, 5, 1, 7, on the output, which is wrong.

But if I will call __builtin_shuffle directly, then the answer is correct.

Any ideas?


Thanks,
Artem.
