`__usub8` intrinsic

This intrinsic inserts a USUB8 instruction into the instruction stream generated by the compiler. It enables you to perform four 8-bit unsigned integer subtractions.

The GE bits in the APSR are set according to the results.

unsigned int __usub8(unsigned int val1, unsigned int val2)

where:

val1: holds the first four 8-bit operands
val2: holds the second four 8-bit operands.

The __usub8 intrinsic returns:

the subtraction of the first byte in the second operand from the first byte in the first operand, in the first byte of the return value
the subtraction of the second byte in the second operand from the second byte in the first operand, in the second byte of the return value
the subtraction of the third byte in the second operand from the third byte in the first operand, in the third byte of the return value
the subtraction of the fourth byte in the second operand from the fourth byte in the first operand, in the fourth byte of the return value.

Each bit in APSR.GE is set or cleared for each byte in the return value, depending on the results of the operation. If res is the return value, then:

if res[7:0] ≥ 0 then APSR.GE[0] = 1 else 0
if res[15:8] ≥ 0 then APSR.GE[1] = 1 else 0
if res[23:16] ≥ 0 then APSR.GE[2] = 1 else 0
if res[31:24] ≥ 0 then APSR.GE[3] = 1 else 0.

Example:

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

    res = __usub18(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]
                                */    
}
