Writing a gcc vector tutorial..

[Patrick Audley <paudley@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm putting together a small tutorial on using vector types in GCC for a 
bioinformatics group.  Does anyone know of anything similar - I've googled 
aleady and found nothing really good.  Is this still the preferred way to 
declare vector types?

   
  typedef struct {
    int __attribute__((mode(V4SI))) v;
    signed short i[4];
  } v4int;

Or is there a better way to declare them?

				
                                    Thanks,
										Patrick
