LSX intrinsic · group: Misc
Synopsis
__m128i __lsx_vexth_h_b (__m128i a)
#include <lsxintrin.h>
Instruction: vexth.h.b vr, vr
CPU Flags: LSX
Description
Sign-extend 8-bit elements in the higher half of every 128-bit vector of a to 16-bit.
Operation
for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
dst.half[i] = (s16)(s8)a.byte[i + 8];
}
// Expands to:
if (0) {
dst.half[0] = (s16)((s8)a.byte[8]);
dst.half[1] = (s16)((s8)a.byte[9]);
dst.half[2] = (s16)((s8)a.byte[10]);
dst.half[3] = (s16)((s8)a.byte[11]);
dst.half[4] = (s16)((s8)a.byte[12]);
dst.half[5] = (s16)((s8)a.byte[13]);
dst.half[6] = (s16)((s8)a.byte[14]);
dst.half[7] = (s16)((s8)a.byte[15]);
}
