It's supposed to initialize the non existing elements to zero.

I just tried it and it seems like it's horribly broken though.

I'm getting:

(const_vector:V2SI [
        (const_int 1 [0x1])
        (nil)
    ])

...for a partial initialization of a V2SI value, which is completely bogus.

This assumption should have been implemented in
const_vector_from_tree().

I'll take a look.
