I have already tried with a similar method, just with
the example in GCC manual, but GCC give me a "invalid
operands to binari +" ( also with your code).
However its not important. Instead of " *(v2si *)
&v[0] + *(v2si *) &t[0]; ", I use " v2si
__builtin_ia32_paddd (v2si, v2si)".
The problem was move the data to register, and now
with your aid I resolved it.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

//file: mmx.c
// gcc -o mmx -Wall -mmmx mmx.c ( it run also without
-mmmx flag)

typedef int v2si __attribute__ ((vector_size (8)));

int main ( void ){
  int v[2] = { 5, 8};
  int t[2] = { 6, 17};
  int r[2] = { 0, 0};
  v2si rv,vv,tt;
  printf("V: %i  %i\n",v[0], v[1]);
  printf("T: %i  %i\n",t[0], t[1]);
  printf("R: %i  %i\n",r[0], r[1]);
  memcpy(&vv, &v, sizeof v);
  memcpy(&tt, &t, sizeof t);
  //rv = *(v2si *) &v[0] + *(v2si *) &t[0];
  rv = __builtin_ia32_paddd (vv, tt);
  memcpy (&r, &rv, sizeof r);
  printf("\n\nV: %i  %i\n",v[0], v[1]);
  printf("T: %i  %i\n",t[0], t[1]);
  printf("R: %i  %i\n",r[0], r[1]);
  return 0;
}


Thank you very much Ian.
