What are the gcc's intrinsic for loading 4 ints into __m128 and 8 ints into __m256 (aligned/unaligned)? What about unsigned ints?

Using Intel's SSE intrnisics, the ones you're looking for are:

  • _mm_load_si128()
  • _mm_loadu_si128()
  • _mm256_load_si256()
  • _mm256_loadu_si256()

Documentation:

There's no distinction between signed or unsigned. You'll need to cast the pointer to __m128i* or __m256i*.


Note that these are Intel's SSE intrinsics and will work in GCC, Clang, MSVC, and ICC.
The GCC intrinsics work only in, well, GCC AFAIK of.
