vec_xld2

Purpose

Loads a 16-byte vector from two 8-byte elements at the memory address specified by the displacement a and the pointer b.

Syntax

d=vec_xld2(a, b)

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.
