Bug ID: 63678 Summary: __mm256_blend_epi16 only accepts 8-bit masks (should accept 16-bit) Product: gcc Version: unknown Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: peter.bumbulis at ianywhere dot com Created attachment 33844 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=33844&action=edit .i file for repro. __mm256_blend_epi16 only accepts 8-bit masks as the 3rd parameter, not 16. The Intel and Microsoft compilers handle this properly. $ gcc -c -mavx2 -save-temps foo.c foo.c: In function ‘blend’: foo.c:4:46: error: the last argument must be an 8-bit immediate return _mm256_blend_epi16(a, b, 0xabcd); ^ where foo.c is #include <immintrin.h> __m256i blend(__m256i a, __m256i b) { return _mm256_blend_epi16(a, b, 0xabcd); } $ gcc -v Using built-in specs.
