vec_cmpeq

Purpose

Returns a vector containing the results of comparing each set of corresponding elements of the given vectors for equality.

This function emulates the operation on long long vectors.

Syntax

d=vec_cmpeq(a, b)

Result and argument types

The following tables describe the types of the returned value and the function arguments.

Table 1. Result and argument types
d a b
vector bool char vector bool char vector bool char
vector signed char vector signed char
vector unsigned char vector unsigned char
vector bool short vector bool short vector bool short
vector signed short vector signed short
vector unsigned short vector unsigned short
vector bool int vector bool int vector bool int

vector unsigned int vector unsigned int
vector float vector float
vector bool long long vector bool long long vector bool long long
vector double vector double

When you call this built-in function, the following types are valid only when -qarch is set to target POWER8® processors.

Table 2. Result and argument types supported only on POWER8 processors
d a b
vector bool long long vector signed long long vector signed long long
vector unsigned long long vector unsigned long long

Result value

For each element of the result, the value of each bit is 1 if the corresponding elements of a and b are equal. Otherwise, the value of each bit is 0.
