This is just a type cast of the vector as a whole.  It doesn't convert
the individual vector elements.

This program does what you want.

Ian

extern "C" {
#include <immintrin.h>
}
#include <iostream>

typedef union {
  __v2df vd;
  __v2di vi;
  int long long i[2];
  double d[2];
} v_t;

int main(void) {
  v_t a;

  for (int k=0;k!=2;k+=1) {
        a.i[k] = k;
  }

  a.vd = _mm_cvtepi32_pd(a.vi);

  for (int k=0;k!=2;k+=1) {
    std::cout << a.d[k] << std::endl;
  }

  return 0;
}
