What header is needed "__vector" when using altivec support?

["Ernest L. Williams Jr." <ernesto@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am trying to build altivec code using GCC and I can't get past first
base:

========================================================================
The following functions are made available by including <altivec.h> and
using -maltivec and -mabi=altivec. The functions implement the
functionality described in Motorola's AltiVec Programming Interface
Manual.
========================================================================

My code snippet looks like:
========================================================

#include <altivecLib.h>


void testFormattedIO()
{
__vector unsigned char s;
__vector signed int I;
__vector signed short SI;
__vector __pixel P;
__vector float F;

/* 8-bits per element */
s = (__vector unsigned char)
{’0’,’1’,’2’,’3’,’4’,’5’,’6’,’7’,’8’,’9’,’A’,’B’,’C’,’D’,’E’,’F’};
====================================================================

The header does not define "__vector".  What is the deal?
Can anyone point me in the right direction?




I keep getting:
