Here's the simplest fix I can think of:
/*
* Exactly like vector8_is_highbit_set except for the input type, so
it still looks
* at each _byte_ separately.
*
* XXX x86 uses the same underlying type for vectors with 8-bit,
16-bit, and 32-bit
* integer elements, but Arm does not, hence the need for a separate function.
* We could instead adopt the behavior of Arm's vmaxvq_u32(), i.e. check each
* 32-bit element, but that would require an additional mask operation on x86.
*/
static inline bool
vector32_is_highbit_set(const Vector32 v)
{
#if defined(USE_NEON)
return vector8_is_highbit_set((Vector8) v);
#else
return vector8_is_highbit_set(v);
#endif
}
