vec_xlds

Purpose

Loads an 8-byte element from the memory address specified by the displacement a and the pointer b and then splats it onto a vector.

Syntax

d=vec_xlds(a, b)

Result and argument types

The following table describes the types of the returned value and the function arguments.

Note: The type for operand a in the following table is: int in 32-bit mode, and long in 64-bit mode.

Table 1. Result and argument types
d	a	b
vector signed long long	int	signed long long *
vector signed long long	long	signed long long *
vector unsigned long long	int	unsigned long long *
vector unsigned long long	long	unsigned long long *
vector double	int	double *
vector double	long	double *

Result value

This function adds the displacement and the pointer R-value to obtain the address for the load operation. It does not truncate the effective address to a multiple of 16 bytes.
