The ifx_int8add() function

The ifx_int8add() function adds two int8 type values.

Syntax

mint ifx_int8add(n1, n2, sum)
   ifx_int8_t *n1;
   ifx_int8_t *n2;
   ifx_int8_t *sum;
n1
A pointer to the int8 structure that contains the first operand.
n2
A pointer to the int8 structure that contains the second operand.
sum
A pointer to the int8 structure that contains the sum of n1 + n2.

Usage

The sum can be the same as either n1 or n2.

Return codes

0
The operation was successful.
-1284
The operation resulted in overflow or underflow.

Example

The file int8add.ec in the demo directory contains the following sample program.
*int8add.ec *

   The following program obtains the sum of two INT8 type values.
