+
+ VEC_CONCAT (ARG1, ARG2)(Fortran)
+
+
+
+ Purpose:
+ Concatenates two elements to form a vector.
+ Result value:
+ The resulting vector consists of the two scalar elements,
+ ARG1 and ARG2, assigned to elements 0 and 1 (using the
+ environment’s native endian numbering), respectively.
+
+
+ Note: This function corresponds to the C/C++ vector
+ constructor (vector type){a,b}. It is provided only for
+ languages without vector constructors.

+
+
+
+
+ VEC_CONVERT(V, MOLD)
+
+
+ Purpose:
+ Converts a vector to a vector of a given type.
+ Class:
+ Pure function
+ Argument type and attributes:
+
+
+ V Must be an INTENT(IN) vector.
+
+
+ MOLD Must be an INTENT(IN) vector. If it is a
+ variable, it need not be defined.
+
+
+ Result type and attributes:
+ The result is a vector of the same type as MOLD.
+ Result value:
+ The result is as if it were on the left-hand side of an
+ intrinsic assignment with V on the right-hand side.
