Trait slipstream::vector::Masked
source · pub trait Masked {
type Mask;
}Expand description
Trait to look up a mask corresponding to a type.
The Vector implements this and allows for finding out what the corresponding mask type for
it is. This is not an inherent associated type because these don’t yet exist in Rust.

type Mask
The mask type for this vector.
Masks are vector types of boolean-like base types. They are used as results of lane-wise
comparisons like eq and for enabling subsets of lanes for certain
operations, like blend and
gather_load_masked.
This associated type describes the native mask for the given vector. For example for
u32x4 it would be m32x4. This is the type that the
comparisons produce. While the selection methods accept any mask type of the right number
of lanes, using this type on their input is expected to yield the best performance.
