vec_rl
Purpose
Rotates each element of a vector left by a given number of bits.
Syntax
d=vec_rl(a, b)Result and argument types
The following tables describe the types of the returned value and the function arguments.
| d | a | b |
|---|---|---|
| vector signed char | vector signed char | vector signed char |
| vector unsigned char | vector unsigned char | vector unsigned char |
| vector signed short | vector signed short | vector signed short |
| vector unsigned short | vector unsigned short | vector unsigned short |
| vector signed int | vector signed int | vector signed int |
| vector unsigned int | vector unsigned int | vector unsigned int |
When you call this built-in function, the following types are valid only when -qarch is set to target POWER8 processors.
| d | a | b |
|---|---|---|
| vector signed long long | vector signed long long | vector signed long long |
| vector unsigned long long | vector unsigned long long | vector unsigned long long |
Result value
Each element of the result is obtained by rotating the corresponding element of a left by the number of bits specified by the corresponding element of b.
