This patch builds onto the patch that provided scalar to vector conversions without stack operations (D11471).
Included in this patch:
- Vector element extraction for all vector types with constant element number (both LE and BE)
- Vector element extraction for v16i8 and v8i16 with variable element number (both LE and BE)
- Removal of some unnecessary COPY_TO_REGCLASS operations that ended up unnecessarily moving things around between registers
Not included in this patch (will be in upcoming patch):
- Vector element extraction for v4i32, v4f32, v2i64 and v2f64 with variable element number
- Vector element insertion for variable/constant element number
Testing is provided for all extractions. The extractions that are not implemented yet are just placeholders.
You don't want to reintroduce this restriction, right?
