vec_st

Purpose

Stores a vector to memory at the given address.

Syntax

vec_st(a, b, c)

Result and argument types

The vec_st function returns nothing. b is added to the address of c, and the sum is truncated to a multiple of 16 bytes. The value of a is then stored into this memory address.

The following tables describe the types of the function arguments.

Table 1. Data type of function returned value and arguments (in 32-bit mode)
a	b	c
vector unsigned char	int	vector unsigned char*
vector unsigned char		unsigned char*
vector signed char		vector signed char*
vector signed char		signed char*
vector bool char		vector bool char*
		unsigned char*
		signed char*
vector unsigned short		vector unsigned short*
vector unsigned short		unsigned short*
vector signed short		vector signed short*
vector signed short		signed short*
vector bool short		vector bool short*
		unsigned short*
		short*
