_mm_alignr_epi8
Microsoft Specific
Emits the Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSSE3) instruction palignr to extract a 128-bit byte aligned value.
__m128i _mm_alignr_epi8( __m128i a, __m128i b, const int ralign );
r is the 128-bit result value.
CONCAT(a, b) is the 256-bit unsigned intermediate value that is a concatenation of parameters a and b. The result is this intermediate value shifted right by ralign bytes.
If ralign > 32, the result value is zero.
Before using this intrinsic, software must ensure that the processor supports the instruction.
