vec_xl_len_r

Purpose

Loads a string of bytes into vector register, right-justified. Sets the leftmost elements (16-cnt) to 0.

Note: This built-in function is valid only when the -mcpu option is set to target POWER9 processors or higher.

Prototype

vector unsigned char vec_xl_len_r (unsigned char *ptr, const int cnt);

Parameters

ptr: Points to a base address.
cnt: The number of bytes to load. The value of cnt must be in the range 1 - 16.
