4.7.87 __uhadd16 intrinsic
This intrinsic inserts a UHADD16 instruction into the instruction stream generated by the
compiler. It enables you to perform two unsigned 16-bit integer additions, halving the
results.
unsigned int __uhadd16(unsigned int val1, unsigned int val2)
Where:
val1
val2
holds the first two 16-bit summands
holds the second two 16-bit summands.
The __uhadd16 intrinsic returns:
• the halved addition of the low halfwords in each operand, in the low halfword of
the return value
• the halved addition of the high halfwords in each operand, in the high halfword
of the return value.
Example:
unsigned int add_halfwords_then halve(unsigned int val1, unsigned int val2)
{
unsigned int res;
}
res = __uhadd16(val1,val2); /* res[15:0] = (val1[15:0] + val2[15:0])
