_mm256_sub_epi8/16/32/64

Subtracts signed/unsigned packed 8/16/32/64-bit integer data elements of two vectors. The corresponding Intel® AVX2 instruction is VPSUBB, VPSUBW, VPADDD, or VPSUBQ.

Syntax

extern __m256i _mm256_sub_epi8(__m256i s1, __m256i s2);

extern __m256i _mm256_sub_epi16(__m256i s1, __m256i s2);

extern __m256i _mm256_sub_epi32(__m256i s1, __m256i s2);

extern __m256i _mm256_sub_epi64(__m256i s1, __m256i s2);

Arguments

s1

integer source vector used for the operation

s2

integer source vector used for the operation

Description

Subtracts packed signed/unsigned 8-, 16-, 32-, or 64-bit integers of the second source vector s2 from corresponding bits of the first source vector s1 and stores the packed integer result in the destination vector. When an individual result is too large to be represented in 8/16/32/64 bits (overflow), the result is wrapped around and the low 8/16/32/64 bits are written to the destination vector (that is, the carry is ignored).

You must control the range of values operated upon to prevent undetected overflow conditions.

Returns

Result of the subtraction operation.
