libstdc++'s bits/simd.h section for PPC (Altivec) defines various
intrinsic vector types that are only available along with VSX: 64-bit
long double, double, (un)signed long long, and 64-bit (un)signed long.

experimental/simd/standard_abi_usable{,_2}.cc tests error out reporting
the unmet requirements when the target cpu doesn't enable VSX.  Make the
reported instrinsic types conditional on VSX so that <experimental/simd>
can be used on ppc variants that do not have VSX support.

Regstrapped on powerpc64el-linux-gnu.  Ok to install?

This is also relevant for gcc-11.  Tested with
x86_64-linux-gnu-x-ppc64-vx7r2.  Ok for gcc-11?

No space after # (here and everywhere else).

This change isn't in the changelog.  The message should not say "long
double" without qualifying it as "64-bit long double".  It is probably
best to just keep the message as-is, the other possibilities for long
double aren't supported either, not even with VSX, and all this becomes
much too complicated to put in a simple error message.  It confuses the
poor user, as well.

Alternatively you can make it two separate error messages, one for
double, one for 64-bit long double.

Okay for trunk without this part of the patch, and the spaces after the
hash signs deleted.  Or send a new patch with the "[long] double" thing
fixed?

Thanks!

Oh, so uttering `__vector double` is ill-formed (now) without VSX? I'm fairly 
certain I tested without VSX and the __intrinsic_type_impl definitions were 
fine.

IIRC this will break other valid uses. You'd have to run `make check-simd` 
(see libstdc++-v3/testsuite/experimental/simd/README.md) to be certain nothing 
breaks. I will also take a look.

The missing condition here was an incorrect omission. With -mlong-double-64 
and without VSX no assertion caught the issue.

IIRC, a user won't get to see this error message unless there's a bug in the 
simd library implementation, so the error message is good enough for me. (It's 
talking about __intrinsic_type, the user would be lost in any case.)

It always was undefined (and did not work):
  error: use of 'double' in AltiVec types is invalid without '-mvsx'

It is, it's just that long double is dealt with differently from the
other types, so requiring VSX for it takes a different form:

How about qualifying both such messages as in this incremental patchlet:

Thanks, awaiting feedback on the suggestion above to post the consolidated patch.

LGTM. I think this improves clarity for the __intrisic_type static assertions 
significantly.

And don't bother with my other mail. If `__vector double` without VSX was 
always ill-formed then I must be misremembering something.

Cheers,

It changes a diagnostic message.  Incorrectly, even.  The changelog does
not talk about this.

The only thing I use changelogs for nowadays is to help reviewing code.
So when things are missing it stands out like a sore thumb.

Yes, that does not talk about changing a diagnostic message.

Send full patches always please.  Not patches relative to some
non-existing state :-)
