Table2-7 shows permissible operand and result sizes for the arithmetic
macros.
For example, the macro to add two 8-bit unsigned numbers with overflow
protection and produce an unsigned 8-bit result is:
ubADD_ub_ubp(n1,n2,rp1,rp2,rp3)
The macro to subtract a 16-bit unsigned number from a 16-bit signed
number with overflow protection and produce an unsigned 16-bit result is:
usSUB_ss_usp(n1,n2,rp1,rp2,rp3)
The macro to multiply two 16-bit signed numbers with overflow protection
and produce a 16-bit signed result is:
ssMUL_ss_ssp(n1,n2,rp1,rp2,rp3)
The macro to divide two 32-bit signed numbers with overflow protection
and produce a 32-bit signed result is:
slDIV_sl_slp(n1,n2,rp1,rp2,rp3)
