There are three things to note in these functions. First, note that these

functions take ``unsigned int`` arrays as parameters; you need
|

to cast `the ``int8_t`` and ``int16_t`` pointers from the C/C++ side to
|
||||
``unsigned int`` when passing them to ``ispc`` code. Second, although the
|
||||
arrays are passed as ``unsigned int``, in the array indexing calculation,
|
||||
with the ``offset`` parameter, they are treated as if they were ``int8`` or
|
||||
``int16`` types. (i.e. the offset treated as being in terms of number of 8

or 16-bit elements.)

or 16-bit elements.) Third, note that programIndex is implicitly added

to offset.
|

|

The ``intbits()`` and ``floatbits()`` functions can be used to implement
|
||||
low-level floating-point bit twiddling. For example, ``intbits()`` returns
