LSX intrinsic · group: Misc

Synopsis

__m128i __lsx_vexth_w_h (__m128i a)
#include <lsxintrin.h>
Instruction: vexth.w.h vr, vr
CPU Flags: LSX

Description

Sign-extend 16-bit elements in the higher half of every 128-bit vector of a to 32-bit.

Operation

for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
  dst.word[i] = (s32)(s16)a.half[i + 4];
}

// Expands to:

if (0) {
  dst.word[0] = (s32)((s16)a.half[4]);
  dst.word[1] = (s32)((s16)a.half[5]);
  dst.word[2] = (s32)((s16)a.half[6]);
  dst.word[3] = (s32)((s16)a.half[7]);
}

Tested on real machine.
