DescriptionYi = Xi << C
All bits of Xi are shifted to the left by as many positions as indicated in the parameter C. This corresponds to a multiplication by 2C, neglecting possible overflow (in all versions) and loss of the sign bit (for signed numbers, i.e. in the VI_,   VBI_,   VSI_,   VLI_, and VQI_ versions).
Note that by shifting 8-bit numbers (VBI_,   VUB_ versions) by more than 7 positions, any non-zero bit present in the original number is lost and the result is 0. The same is true for 16-bit numbers (VSI_,   VUS_ versions) shifted by more than 15 positions, for 32-bit numbers (VLI_, VUL_) shifted by more than 31 positions, and for 64-bit numbers (VQI_, VUQ_) shifted by more than 63 positions.
C is always of the data type unsigned. Shifting by negative numbers C is, therefore, not possible. To perform a right-shift, the appropriate function of the VI_shr family has to be used.
