vec_xl_be
Purpose
Loads a 16-byte vector from the memory address specified by the displacement a and the pointer b.
Syntax
d=vec_xl_be(a, b)Result and argument types
The following table describes the types of the function returned value and the function arguments.
| d | a | b |
|---|---|---|
| vector signed char | long | signed char * |
| vector unsigned char | unsigned char * | |
| vector signed short | signed short * | |
| vector unsigned short | unsigned short * | |
| vector signed int | signed int * | |
| vector unsigned int | unsigned int * | |
| vector signed long long | signed long long * | |
| vector unsigned long long | unsigned long long * | |
| vector float | float * | |
| vector double | double * |
Result value
vec_xl_be adds the displacement provided by a to the address provided by b to obtain the effective address for the load operation. It does not truncate the effective address to a multiple of 16 bytes.
The order of elements in the function result is big endian regardless of the -maltivec (-qaltivec) option in effect.
