4.7.94 __uqadd8 intrinsic
This intrinsic inserts a UQADD8 instruction into the instruction stream generated by the
compiler. It enables you to perform four unsigned 8-bit integer additions, saturating the
results to the 8-bit unsigned integer range 0 ≤ x ≤ 2 8 - 1.
unsigned int __uqadd8(unsigned int val1, unsigned int val2)
Where:
val1
val2
holds the first four 8-bit summands
holds the second four 8-bit summands.
The __uqadd8 intrinsic returns:
• the addition of the first bytes in each operand, in the first byte of the return value
• the addition of the second bytes in each operand, in the second byte of the return
value
• the addition of the third bytes in each operand, in the third byte of the return value
• the addition of the fourth bytes in each operand, in the fourth byte of the return
value.
The results are saturated to the 8-bit unsigned integer range 0 ≤ x ≤ 2 8 - 1.
Example:
unsigned int add_bytes(unsigned int val1, unsigned int val2)
{
unsigned int res;
}
res = __uqadd8(val1,val2); /* res[7:0] = val1[7:0] + val2[7:0]
res[15:8] = val1[15:8] + val2[15:8]
res[23:16] = val1[23:16] + val2[23:16]
res[31:24] = val1[31:24] + val2[31:24]
*/
return res;
