The ability to use vector initializer lists is a GNU vector extension
and is unrelated to the NEON intrinsics in arm_neon.h. On little
endian machines it works fine, however on big endian machines it
exhibits surprising behaviour:
uint32x2_t x = {42, 64};
return vget_lane_u32(x, 0); // Will return 64.
Because of this, explicitly call out that it is unsupported on big
endian machines.
This patch will emit the following warning in big-endian mode:
test.c:3:15: warning: vector initializers are a GNU extension and are not compatible with NEON intrinsics [-Wgnu]
int32x4_t x = {0, 1, 2, 3};
^
test.c:3:15: note: consider using vld1q_s32() to initialize a vector from memory, or vcombine_s32(vcreate_s32(), vcreate_s32()) to initialize from integer constants
