vec_xlds

Purpose

Loads an 8-byte element from the memory address specified by the displacement a and the pointer b and then splats it onto a vector.

This function requires the POWER7 architecture.

Syntax

d=vec_xlds(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 long long int signed long long *
long
vector unsigned long long int unsigned long long *
long
vector double int double *
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.
