_mm_sign_pi8

Microsoft Specific

Emits the Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSSE3) instruction psignb. This instruction negates or clears 8-bit signed integers of a 64-bit parameter.

__m64 _mm_sign_pi8( 
   __m64 a,
   __m64 b
);

Parameters

• [in] a
  A 64-bit parameter that contains eight 8-bit signed integers.

• [in] b
  A 64-bit parameter that contains eight 8-bit signed integers.

Return value

The return value can be expressed with the following equations.

r0 := (b0 < 0) ? -a0 : ((b0 == 0) ? 0 : a0)

r1 := (b1 < 0) ? -a1 : ((b1 == 0) ? 0 : a1)

...

r7 := (b7 < 0) ? -a7 : ((b7 == 0) ? 0 : a7)

Requirements

Header file <tmmintrin.h>

Remarks

r0-r7, a0-a7, and b0-b7 are the sequentially ordered 8-bit components of return value r and parameters a and b. r0, a0, and b0 are the least significant 8 bits.

Before you use this intrinsic, software must ensure that the underlying processor supports the instruction.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <tmmintrin.h>
