    pub fn _mm_minpos_epu16(a: __m128i) -> __m128i

Available on (x86 or x86-64) and target feature `sse4.1` and x86-64 only.
Expand description

Finds the minimum unsigned 16-bit element in the 128-bit __m128i vector, returning a vector containing its value in its first position, and its index in its second position; all other elements are set to zero.

This intrinsic corresponds to the `VPHMINPOSUW` / `PHMINPOSUW` instruction.

Arguments:

- `a` - A 128-bit vector of type `__m128i`.

Returns:

A 128-bit value where:

- bits `[15:0]` - contain the minimum value found in parameter `a`,
- bits `[18:16]` - contain the index of the minimum value
- remaining bits are set to `0`.
