BRKN

Propagate break to next partition

This instruction propagates break to next partition. If the Last active element of the first source predicate is false, then the destination predicate is set to all-false. Otherwise, the destination and second source predicates are left unchanged. This instruction does not set the condition flags.

Encoding

Decode

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE) && !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); constant integer g = UInt(Pg); constant integer n = UInt(Pn); constant integer dm = UInt(Pdm); constant boolean setflags = FALSE;

Assembler Symbols

<Pdm>

Is the name of the second source and destination scalable predicate register, encoded in the "Pdm" field.

<Pg>

Is the name of the governing scalable predicate register, encoded in the "Pg" field.

<Pn>

Is the name of the first source scalable predicate register, encoded in the "Pn" field.

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled(); constant integer VL = CurrentVL; constant integer PL = VL DIV 8; constant bits(PL) mask = P[g, PL]; constant bits(PL) operand1 = P[n, PL]; constant bits(PL) operand2 = P[dm, PL]; bits(PL) result; if LastActive(mask, operand1, 8) == '1' then result = operand2; else result = Zeros(PL); if setflags then PSTATE.<N,Z,C,V> = PredTest(Ones(PL), result, 8); P[dm, PL] = result;
