Test Intrinsics

These Intel® Streaming SIMD Extensions (Intel® SSE4) intrinsics perform packed integer 128-bit comparisons. The prototypes for these instrinsics are in the smmintrin.h file.

Intrinsic Name	Operation	Corresponding Intel® SSE4 Instruction
_mm_testz_si128	Check for all zeros in specified bits of a 128-bit value	PTEST
_mm_testc_si128	Check for all ones in specified bits of a 128-bit value	PTEST
_mm_testnzc_si128	Check for at least one zero and at least one one in the specified bits of a 128-bit value	PTEST

int _mm_testz_si128 (__m128i s1, __m128i s2)

Returns 1 if the bitwise AND operation on s1 and s2 results in all zeros, else returns 0. That is,

_mm_testz_si128 := ( (s1 & s2) == 0 ? 1 : 0 )

This intrinsic checks if the ZF flag equals 1 as a result of the instruction PTEST s1, s2. For example, it allows you to check if all set bits in s2 (mask) are zeros in s1.

Corresponding instruction: PTEST

int _mm_testc_si128 (__m128i s1, __m128i s2)

Returns 1 if the bitwise AND operation on s2 and logical NOT s1 results in all zeros, else returns 0. That is,

_mm_testc_si128 := ( (~s1 & s2) == 0 ? 1 : 0 )

This intrinsic checks if the CF flag equals 1 as a result of the instruction PTEST s1, s2. For example it allows you to check if all set bits in s2 (mask) are also set in s1.

Corresponding instruction: PTEST

int _mm_testnzc_si128 (__m128i s1, __m128i s2)

Returns 1 if the following conditions are true: bitwise operation of s1 AND s2 does not equal all zeros and bitwise operation of NOT s1 AND s2 does not equal all zeros, otherwise returns 0. That is,

_mm_testnzc_si128 := ( ( (s1 & s2) != 0 && (~s1 & s2) != 0 ) ? 1 : 0 )

This intrinsic checks if both the CF and ZF flags are not 1 as a result of the instruction PTEST s1, s2. For example, it allows you to check that the result has both zeros and ones in s1 on positions specified as set bits in s2 (mask).

Corresponding instruction: PTEST
