Macro Function for Shuffle Using Streaming SIMD Extensions 2
Microsoft Specific
The Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2) instructions provide a macro function to help create constants that describe shuffle operations. The macro takes two small integers (in the range of 0 to 1) and combines them into a 2-bit immediate value used by the SHUFPD instruction. See the following example.
Shuffle Function Macro
_MM_SHUFFLE2(x, y)
/* expands to the value of */
(x<<1) | y
You can view the two integers as selectors for choosing which two words from the first input operand and which two words from the second are to be put into the result word.
