Missing several Intrinsics for Miscellaneous Operations in User and Reference Guide for C++

[Nathan_Weeks]

In the User and Reference Guide for the Intel® C++ Compiler 15.0, the "Intrinsics for Miscellaneous Operations" (https://software.intel.com/en-us/node/524118) is missing the following intrinsics:

• _mm256_set_epi8
• _mm256_set_epi16
• _mm256_set_epi64x
• _mm256_setr_epi8
• _mm256_setr_epi16
• _mm256_setr_epi64x
• _mm256_set1_epi8
• _mm256_set1_epi16
• _mm256_set1_epi64x

Thanks Nathan, yet again I'll escalate this to the doc team - appreciate much.

Hi Kittur,

I noticed additional documentation discrepancies for the instructions corresponding to AVX Miscellaneous Intrinsics in the Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual:

1. Vol. 2B 4-513 (PDF p. 1609): In the "Intel C/C++ Compiler Intrinsic Equivalent" section, INSERTF128 should be VINSERTF128.

2. Vol. 2A 3-453 (PDF p. 943): In the "Intel C/C++ Compiler Intrinsic Equivalent" section, 

    LDDQU: __m256i _mm256_lddqu_si256 (__m256i * p);

should be

    VLDDQU: __m256i _mm256_lddqu_si256 (__m256i * p);

3. Vol. 2A 3-547 (PDF p. 1037): The "Intel C/C++ Compiler Intrinsic Equivalent" section should contain:

    VMOVMSKPD:     _mm256_movemask_pd(__m256d a)

Thanks Nathan. I've updated the issue I'd filed with this new issue you noticed as well, with our doc team. Again, appreciate much for catching this.
