# Function v128_load8_splat

Source

    pub unsafe fn v128_load8_splat(m: *const u8) -> v128

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`simd_wasm64` #90599)
Available on WebAssembly and target feature `simd128` only.
Expand description

Load a single element and splat to all lanes of a v128 vector.

While this intrinsic is provided for completeness it can also be replaced with `u8x16_splat(*m)` and it should generate equivalent code (and also not require `unsafe`).

## §Unsafety

This intrinsic is unsafe because it takes a raw pointer as an argument, and the pointer must be valid to load 1 byte from. Note that there is no alignment requirement on this pointer since this intrinsic performs a 1-aligned load.
