> Hi @Wanghuang-Huawei, thanks for adding the SVE support for VectorCast. I observed that this patch misses some type casts like: `byte -> long`, `short -> long`, `long -> byte` and `long -> short`. Do you have any plan to add these missing parts in future? I'd suggest to add them all with the single patch. WDYT?

OK. I will add them in next commit.
