## Overview

Intrinsics to set, get and clear bits of the control register.

These fields have undefined values by default as they are not initialized.

SQ - Symmetric saturation | [7] | Mode control for symmetric saturation
mdSSa - Select | [8] | Bit to select stream SS0 or SS1
mdSSb - Select | [9] | Bit to select stream SS0 or SS1
mdMSa - Select | [10] | Bit to select stream MS0 or MS1
mdMSb - Select | [11] | Bit to select stream MS0 or MS1
Reserved | [12:15] | Reserved bits
FP_ADD_MASK - MASK | [16:23] | Mask bits to mask floating point exceptions
FP_MUL_MASK - MASK | [24:31] | Mask bits to mask floating point exceptions

### SRS rounding and saturation

The rounding and saturation in the srs intrinsics (Shift-Round-Saturate) is controlled through special mode setting commands. The following example shows their usage:

static int16_t data[8] = {0xf00000,0x3C0,0x380,0x37F,0,0,0,0};
void ex3()
{
v8acc48 acc = ups(*(v8int16*)(data));
set_rnd(rnd_pos_inf);
set_sat();
v8int16 r_s = srs(acc,8); // r_s = {0x7FFF, 0x4, 0x4, 0x3, ...}
clr_sat();
v8int16 r_ns = srs(acc,8); // r_ns = {0x0000, 0x4, 0x4, 0x3, ...}
set_rnd(rnd_floor);
v8int16 nr_ns = srs(acc,8); // r_ns = {0x0000, 0x3, 0x3, 0x3, ...}
set_sat();
set_rnd(rnd_conv_odd);
v8int16 nr_s = srs(acc,8); // nr_s = {0x7FFF, 0x4, 0x3, 0x3, ...}
}

Definition me_chess.h:462
srs
v8int16 srs(v8acc48 a, int shft)
Definition me_srs.h:255
ups
v16acc48 ups(v16int16 a, int shft)
Definition me_ups.h:86
set_rnd
void set_rnd(unsigned int val)
Control for rounding mode (for Shift-Round-Saturate). See rounding_modes for possible values.
Definition me_set_mode.h:284
clr_sat
void clr_sat()
Control saturation. Saturation rounds an n-bit signed value in the range [- ( 2^(n-1) ) : +2^(n-1) - ...
Definition me_set_mode.h:241
set_sat
void set_sat()
Control saturation. Saturation rounds an n-bit signed value in the range [- ( 2^(n-1) ) : +2^(n-1) - ...
Definition me_set_mode.h:241
rnd_conv_odd
#define rnd_conv_odd
Round halfway towards nearest odd number.
Definition me_defines.h:148
rnd_pos_inf
#define rnd_pos_inf
Round halfway towards positive infinity.
Definition me_defines.h:138
rnd_floor
#define rnd_floor
No rounding - Truncate LSB, always round down (towards negative infinity)
Definition me_defines.h:134

In this example, the first element overflows 16-bit signed data and shows the effect of the saturation mode setting, while the second to fourth elements shows the effect of the rounding mode setting following a 8-bit right shift.
