the
function
is optional.
What happens if I pass ?
If you pass as the
parameter,
then the function behaves as if you had passed
a pointer to this structure:
The signum function is defined as follows:
There are a couple of ways of calculating this in SSE integers.
One way is to convert the C idiom
The SSE translation of this is mostly straightforward.
The quirk is that the SSE comparison functions return −1
to indicate ,
whereas C uses +1 to represent .
But this is easy to take into accou...
Today I'm going to set, clear, and test a single bit in an SSE register.
Why?
On Mondays I don't have to explain why.
First, we use the trick from
last time
that lets us generate constants
where all set bits are contiguous,
and apply it to the case where we want only one bit.
We start by setting all bits in .
We then shift both 64-bit ...
A customer wanted to know how to get the location of the taskbar on secondary monitors. "I know that will tell me the location of the taskbar on the primary monitor, but how do I get its location on secondary monitors?"
We asked the customer what their actual problem is, where they think that determining the taskbar location on secondary monitors...
