Constraints:

The bitwidth of the two types must be the same.

Parameters:

  • ​type (DType): The source type.
  • ​width (Int): The source width.
  • ​new_type (DType): The target type.
  • ​new_width (Int): The target width.

Args:

  • ​val (SIMD[type, width]): The source value.

Returns:

A new SIMD value with the specified type and width with a bitcopy of the source SIMD value.
