Vectors Library
mikroC PRO for ARM includes a library for working and using vectors. Routines with 16 as their suffix work with 16-bit data (fractional Q15 format) and routines with 32 as their suffix work with 32-bit data (fractional Q31 format).

When using Cortex M4 MCUs, please have in mind that arrays of 16-bit (half-word) type that represent vectors must be allocated on the word-aligned addresses.
