VEC_XL(ARG1, ARG2)
Purpose
Loads a 16-byte vector from the memory address specified by the displacement ARG1 and the pointer ARG2.
Class
Pure function
Argument type and attributes
- ARG1
- An INTENT(IN) integer
- ARG2
- An INTENT(IN) variable of any of the following
types:
- REAL(4) or REAL(8)
- INTEGER(1), INTEGER(2), INTEGER(4), or INTEGER(8)
- Vector
Result type and attributes
If ARG2 is a vector, the result is of the same type as ARG2; otherwise, the result is a vector of the ARG2 type.
Result value
VEC_XL adds the displacement provided by ARG1 to the address provided by ARG2 to obtain the effective address for the load operation. It does not truncate the effective address to a multiple of 16 bytes.
This function loads the result from a specific number of elements at the effective address for the load operation. The number and the size of elements vary based on the data type of argument ARG2. For details about the function result value, see the following table.
| Data type of ARG2 | Function result value |
|---|---|
| INTEGER(1) | Loads the result from 16 one-byte elements. |
| INTEGER(2) | Loads the result from 8 two-byte elements. |
| INTEGER(4) or REAL(4) | Loads the result from four 4-byte elements. |
| INTEGER(8) or REAL(8) | Loads the result from two 8-byte elements. |
| VECTOR | Loads the result from corresponding elements. |
The order of elements in the function result is different on little endian systems.
