_mm_castps_si128

Visual Studio 2010

Microsoft Specific

Applies a type cast to reinterpret four 32-bit floating point values passed in as a 128-bit parameter as packed 32-bit integers.

Copy 
__m128i _mm_castps_si128( 
   __m128 a
);
[in] a

A 128-bit parameter that contains four 32-bit floating point values.

_mm_castps_si128

x86, x64

Header file <emmintrin.h>

The 128-bit return value r is a copy of the 128-bit parameter a, but cast as four 32-bit integers. This intrinsic changes one data type to another without performing any conversion.

This intrinsic does not map to any specific machine instruction.
