SIMD.or

SIMD.js has been taken out of active development in TC39 and removed from Stage 3. It is not being pursued by web browsers for implementation anymore. SIMD operations exposed to the web are under active development within WebAssembly, with operations based on the SIMD.js operations.

The static SIMD.%type%.or() method returns a new instance with the logical OR of the lane values (a | b). This operation exists only on integer and boolean SIMD types.

Syntax

SIMD.Int8x16.or(a, b)
SIMD.Int16x8.or(a, b)
SIMD.Int32x4.or(a, b)

SIMD.Uint8x16.or(a, b)
SIMD.Uint16x8.or(a, b)
SIMD.Uint32x4.or(a, b)

SIMD.Bool8x16.or(a, b)
SIMD.Bool16x8.or(a, b)
SIMD.Bool32x4.or(a, b)
SIMD.Bool64x2.or(a, b)

Parameters

a

An instance of a SIMD type.

b

Another instance of a SIMD type.

Return value

A new corresponding SIMD data type with the logical OR of the lane values (a | b).

Description

The bitwise OR operation yields 1, if either a or b are 1. The truth table for the OR operation is:

For example, a bitwise OR of 5 & 1 results in 0101 which is 5 in decimal.

5  0101
1  0001
   ----
5  0101

Examples

Bitwise OR of two Int32x4

var a = SIMD.Int32x4(1, 2, 4, 8);
var b = SIMD.Int32x4(5, 5, 5, 5);
SIMD.Int32x4.or(a, b);
// Int32x4[5, 7, 5, 13]
