Description
## Bug Report: ICE in clang::CodeGen::CodeGenFunction::EmitPromotedScalarExpr(clang::Expr const*, clang::QualType)
Clang crashes when compiling the following C code.
**Compiler**: clang-22 (LLVM 22.1.5, commit 5ea218a153f4d2f815b8244eab3e4b4ba5e00e6c)
**Compilation flags**: -O0
**Platform**: x86_64-linux-gnu
**Component**: frontend
This is a **frontend** crash (reproduces with `-emit-llvm -Xclang -disable-llvm-passes`).
## Reduced Test Case
> Minimized from the original fuzzer-generated input using `creduce`.
```sh
clang -O0 test.c -o /dev/null
```
```c
long double a;
__attribute__((__vector_size__(2 * sizeof(long)))) b;
c() { a / b; }
```
## Crash Output
```
clang-22: /root/compilers/llvm-project-release/llvm/lib/IR/Instructions.cpp:3040: static llvm::CastInst* llvm::CastInst::Create(llvm::Instruction::CastOps, llvm::Value*, llvm::Type*, const llvm::Twine&, llvm::InsertPosition): Assertion \`castIsValid(op, S, Ty) && "Invalid cast!"' failed.
PLEASE submit a bug report to https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/ and include the crash backtrace, preprocessed source, and associated run script.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by running the reduced C reproducer with clang -O0 and inspect the stack entry in CGExprScalar.cpp, especially CodeGenFunction::EmitPromotedScalarExpr. Trace the vector and long-double division path shown in the report. Done means the reproducer no longer triggers the LLVM Invalid cast assertion and the failure is covered by a regression test.
