vec_xlw4

Purpose

Loads a 16-byte vector from four 4-byte elements at the memory address specified by the displacement a and the pointer b.

This function requires the POWER7 architecture.

Syntax

d=vec_xlw4(a, b)

Result and argument types

The following table describes the types of the returned value and the function arguments.

Note: The type for operand a in the following table is: int in 32-bit mode, and long in 64-bit mode.
d a b
vector signed char int signed char *
long
vector unsigned char int unsigned char *
long

Result value

This function adds the displacement and the pointer R-value to obtain the address for the load operation. It does not truncate the affected address to a multiple of 16 bytes.
