CLASTA (vectors)

Conditionally extract element after last to vector register

This instruction extracts, from the second source vector register, the element after the Last active element, or if the Last active element is the final element it extracts element zero, and then replicates that element to destructively fill the destination and first source vector.

If there are no Active elements, the destination and source vector are unmodified.

Encoding

CLASTA <Zdn>.<T>, <Pg>, <Zdn>.<T>, <Zm>.<T>

Decode

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE) && !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); constant integer esize = 8 << UInt(size); constant integer g = UInt(Pg); constant integer dn = UInt(Zdn); constant integer m = UInt(Zm); constant boolean isBefore = FALSE;

Assembler Symbols

<Zdn>

Is the name of the first source and destination scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zdn" field.

<T>

Is the size specifier, encoded in size:

size <T>
00 B
01 H
10 S
11 D
<Pg>

Is the name of the governing scalable predicate register P0-P7, encoded in the "Pg" field.

<Zm>

Is the name of the second source scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zm" field.

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled(); constant integer VL = CurrentVL; constant integer PL = VL DIV 8; constant integer elements = VL DIV esize; constant bits(PL) mask = P[g, PL]; constant bits(VL) operand1 = Z[dn, VL]; constant bits(VL) operand2 = Z[m, VL]; bits(VL) result; integer last = LastActiveElement(mask, esize); if last < 0 then result = operand1; else if !isBefore then last = last + 1; if last >= elements then last = 0; for e = 0 to elements-1 Elem[result, e, esize] = Elem[operand2, last, esize]; Z[dn, VL] = result;

Operational information

This instruction might be immediately preceded in program order by a MOVPRFX instruction. The MOVPRFX must conform to all of the following requirements, otherwise the behavior of the MOVPRFX and this instruction is CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE:
