Be stricter about CONST_VECTOR operands
The recent gen_vec_duplicate patches used CONST_VECTOR for all
constants, but the documentation says:
@findex const_vector
@item (const_vector:@var{m} [@var{x0} @var{x1} @dots{}])
Represents a vector constant. The square brackets stand for the vector
containing the constant elements. @var{x0}, @var{x1} and so on are
the @code{const_int}, @code{const_double} or @code{const_fixed} elements.
Both the AArch32 and AArch64 ports relied on the elements having
this form and would ICE if the element was something like a CONST
instead. This showed up as a failure in vect-126.c for both arm-eabi
and aarch64-elf (but not aarch64-linux-gnu, which is what the series
was tested on).
The two obvious options were to redefine CONST_VECTOR to accept all
constants or make gen_vec_duplicate honour the existing documentation.
It looks like other code also assumes that integer CONST_VECTORs contain
CONST_INTs, so the patch does the latter.
I deliberately didn't add an assert to gen_const_vec_duplicate
because it looks like the SPU port *does* expect to be able to create
CONST_VECTORs of symbolic constants.
Also, I think the list above should include const_wide_int for vectors
of TImode and wider.
The new routine takes a mode for consistency with the generators,
and because I think it does make sense to accept all constants for
variable-length:
(const (vec_duplicate ...))
rather than have some rtxes for which we instead use:
(vec_duplicate (const ...))
