__uqadd8 intrinsic

This intrinsic inserts a UQADD8 instruction into the instruction stream generated by the compiler. It enables you to perform four unsigned 8-bit integer additions, saturating the results to the 8-bit unsigned integer range 0 ≤ x ≤ 28 - 1.

unsigned int __uqadd8(unsigned int val1, unsigned int val2)

Where:

val1

holds the first four 8-bit summands

val2

holds the second four 8-bit summands.

The __uqadd8 intrinsic returns:

The results are saturated to the 8-bit unsigned integer range 0 ≤ x ≤ 28 - 1.

Example:

unsigned int add_bytes(unsigned int val1, unsigned int val2)
{
  unsigned int res;

    res = __uqadd8(val1,val2); /* res[7:0] = val1[7:0] + val2[7:0]
                                  res[15:8] = val1[15:8] + val2[15:8]
                                  res[23:16] = val1[23:16] + val2[23:16]
                                  res[31:24] = val1[31:24] + val2[31:24]
                                */
    return res;
}
