Returns a vector that has all of its elements set to a given value.
d=vec_splat(a, b)
The following table describes the types of the returned value and the function arguments.
| d | a | b |
|---|---|---|
| vector bool char | vector bool char | 0 - 15 |
| vector signed char | vector signed char | 0 - 15 |
| vector unsigned char | vector unsigned char | 0 - 15 |
| vector bool short | vector bool short | 0 - 7 |
| vector signed short | vector signed short | 0 - 7 |
| vector unsigned short | vector unsigned short | 0 - 7 |
| vector bool int | vector bool int | 0–3 |
| vector signed int | vector signed int | 0–3 |
| vector unsigned int | vector unsigned int | 0–3 |
| vector bool long long | vector bool long long | 0–1 |
| vector signed long long | vector signed long long | 0–1 |
| vector unsigned long long | vector unsigned long long | 0–1 |
| vector float | vector float | 0–3 |
| vector double | vector double | 0–1 |
Assume that the elements of a are numbered beginning with 0. The value of the element of a specified by b is given to each element of the result vector.
