Invalid type conversions on M1 Mac

[aberthel]

Hello! I have been trying to use simd-everywhere to compile the RADULS sorting library for a Mac with an M1 chip. I am running into a problem that seems to originate from sse4.2.h, where a conversion between incompatible types is taking place. I get the following error message:

gcc-13 -IRaduls -Wall -fopenmp -O3 -march=armv8.5-a+fp+simd+crc+crypto -fno-ipa-ra -fno-tree-vrp -fno-tree-pre -m64 -std=c++14 -pthread  -c Example/main.cpp -o Example/main.o

I'm not really a C programmer, just trying to get this library compiled for use in another project, and I haven't been able to figure out the root cause of the issue. Any insights would be much appreciated.

Hello @aberthel

Which SIMDe function is this? Alas the compiler output doesn't say..

[aberthel]

It's throwing errors at the #include <arm_acle.h> directive (ARM C Language Extensions). Within that file, the __builtin_aarch64_rndr and __builtin_aarch64_rndrrs intrinsics (which I think have some RNG function) seem to be returning 64-bit ints when something earlier up the line expected 32-bit ints. I haven't been able to figure out what that "something" is yet.

@aberthel Can you test again using #1148 ?

I believe this has been fixed, please let us know if not
