vec_sub

Purpose

Returns a vector containing the result of subtracting each element of b from the corresponding element of a.

This function emulates the operation on long long vectors.

This built-in function is valid only when you include the altivec.h file.

Syntax

d=vec_sub(a, b)

Result and argument types

The following table describes the types of the returned value and the function arguments.

Result value

The value of each element of the result is the result of subtracting the value of the corresponding element of b from the value of the corresponding element of a. The arithmetic is modular for integer vectors.
