5.8.3. V{Q}ADD, VADDL, VADDW, V{Q}SUB, VSUBL, and VSUBW

VADD (Vector Add) adds corresponding elements in two vectors, and places the results in the destination vector.

VSUB (Vector Subtract) subtracts the elements of one vector from the corresponding elements of another vector, and places the results in the destination vector.

Saturating, Long, and Wide versions are available. The sticky QC flag (FPSCR bit[27]) is set if saturation occurs.

Syntax

V{Q}op{cond}.datatype Qd, Qn, Qm

V{Q}op{cond}.datatype Dd, Dn, Dm

VopL{cond}.datatype Qd, Dn, Dm

VopW{cond}.datatype Qd, Qn, Dm

where:

Q

if present, indicates that if any of the results overflow, they are saturated.

op

must be either ADD or SUB.

cond

is an optional condition code (see Condition codes).

datatype

must be one of:

I8, I16, I32, I64, F32

for VADD or VSUB

S8, S16, S32

for VQADD, VQSUB, VADDL, VADDW, VSUBL, or VSUBW

U8, U16, U32

for VQADD, VQSUB, VADDL, VADDW, VSUBL, or VSUBW

S64, U64

for VQADD or VQSUB.

Qd, Qn, Qm

are the destination vector, the first operand vector, and the second operand vector, for a quadword operation.

Dd, Dn, Dm

are the destination vector, the first operand vector, and the second operand vector, for a doubleword operation.

Qd, Dn, Dm

are the destination vector, the first operand vector, and the second operand vector, for a long operation.

Qd, Qn, Dm

are the destination vector, the first operand vector, and the second operand vector, for a wide operation.
