xt::equal fails for int64_t due to SIMD issues. #2815
Description
System info
macOS 13.7, intel.
cmake version 3.30.5 (CMake; JetBrains IDE bundle; build 22)
Apple clang version 15.0.0 (clang-1500.1.0.2.5)
Reproduction
#define XTENSOR_USE_XSIMD
#include <iostream>
#include <set>
#include "xtensor/xarray.hpp"
#include "xtensor/xtensor_forward.hpp"
#include "xtensor/xbuilder.hpp"
#include "xtensor/xio.hpp"
int main()
{
xt::xarray<int64_t> x = xt::arange(50);
xt::xarray<bool> res = xt::equal(x, x);
std::cout << res << std::endl;
}When removing XTENSOR_USE_XSIMD, it runs fine.
It also works when using xt::xarray<bool> res = xt::cast<uint8_t>(xt::equal(x, y));.
I'm pretty sure it fails for assignment to bool from all int types.

I'm not sure why it defaults to SSE4.1, but if I whack it down to core2 (macOS minimum) I still get a similar error:

Your issue is that there is an implicit cast from xt::equal(x, x) to xt::xarray<bool> add a cast to do the conversion.

This issue is stale because it has been open for 30 days with no activity.
It will be automatically closed in 14 days.

Seems like I forgot to post an update. Thank you @spectre-ns — I did work around the issue with a sort of cast in the end (though my solution ended up slightly different).
I'd still argue that this is a bug worth fixing. Though admittedly I cannot confirm if it's here with the latest updates of xsimd.

The bug still exists and isn't stale.

Indeed this is a workflow that automatically sets this state after some inactivity.
