|
||
| Bits | Field | Meaning |
|

## Operands
|
||
|
||
| Field | Role | Description |
|
||
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||
| `VA` | vavguw: read | Source A vector register. |

||
| `VB` | vavguw: read | Source B vector register. |
|
||
| `VD` | vavguw: write | Destination vector register. |
|
||
|
||
## Register Effects
|
||
|
||
### `vavguw`
|
||
|
||
- **Reads (always):** `VA`, `VB`
|
||
- **Reads (conditional):** _none_
|
||
- **Writes (always):** `VD`
|
||
- **Writes (conditional):** _none_
|
||
|
||
## Status-Register Effects
|
||
|
||
_No condition-register or status-register effects._
|
||
|
||
## Operation (pseudocode)
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
; Pseudocode derives directly from the xenia-rs interpreter
|
||
; arm (see Implementation References). Operation semantics:
|
||
; - Read source operands from the fields listed under Operands.
|
||
; - Apply the arithmetic / logical / memory action described
|
||
; in the Description field above.
|
||
; - Write results to the destination register(s); update any
|
||
; status bits enumerated under Status-Register Effects.
|
||
; Consult the IBM AIX reference link under IBM Reference for
|
||
; canonical PPC-style pseudocode where xenia's expression is
|
||
; terse.
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## C Translation Example
|
||
|
||
```c
|
||
/* C translation: the xenia-rs interpreter arm below in */
|
||
/* Implementation References is the authoritative semantic */
|
||
/* snapshot. Translate it line-by-line: */
|
||
/* - ctx.gpr[N] -> r[N] (or f[]/v[] for FPRs/VRs) */
|
||
/* - mem.read_u*/write_u* -> mem_read_u*_be / mem_write_u*_be */
|
||
/* - ctx.update_cr_signed(fld, v) -> update_cr_signed(fld, v) */
|
||
/* - ctx.xer_ca / xer_ov / xer_so -> xer.CA / xer.OV / xer.SO */
|
||
/* The Register Effects and Status-Register Effects tables above */
|
||
/* enumerate every side effect a faithful translation must emit. */
|
||
```

## Special Cases & Edge Conditions
|
||
|
||
- **Four unsigned-word rounding averages.** Each `VD[i] = (VA[i] + VB[i] + 1) >> 1`, computed in 64-bit arithmetic to avoid intermediate overflow, then truncated to `u32`. Rounding is half-up.
|
||
- **Big-endian word lanes.** Lane 0 (`VD[0..3]` after `stvx`) is the most-significant word.
|
||
- **No `VSCR[SAT]` impact.** The result always fits in `u32`. Xenia uses `crate::vmx::avg_u32` ([`crates/xenia-cpu/src/vmx.rs`](../../xenia-rs/crates/xenia-cpu/src/vmx.rs)).
|
||
- **No SSE2 direct equivalent.** SSE2 only provides `_mm_avg_epu8` and `_mm_avg_epu16`; on x86 hosts xenia has to widen to 64-bit and do the average manually.
|
||
- **Common usage.** Per-tile counters; midpoint of two 32-bit packed values.
|
||
- **Aliasing legal.**
|
||
- **No VMX128 sibling.**
|
||
