FCPY

Copy floating-point immediate to vector elements (predicated)

This instruction copies a floating-point immediate into each Active element in the destination vector. Inactive elements in the destination vector register remain unmodified.

This instruction is used by the alias FMOV (immediate, predicated).

SVE class

(FEAT_SVE || FEAT_SME)

Encoding

FCPY <Zd>.<T>, <Pg>/M, #<const>

Decode

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE) && !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); if size == '00' then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); constant integer esize = 8 << UInt(size); constant integer g = UInt(Pg); constant integer d = UInt(Zd); constant bits(esize) imm = VFPExpandImm(imm8, esize);

Assembler Symbols

<Zd>

Is the name of the destination scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zd" field.

<T>

Is the size specifier, encoded in size:

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

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

<const>

Is a floating-point immediate value expressible as ±n÷16×2^r, where n and r are integers such that 16 ≤ n ≤ 31 and -3 ≤ r ≤ 4, i.e. a normalized binary floating-point encoding with 1 sign bit, 3-bit exponent, and 4-bit fractional part, encoded in the "imm8" 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]; bits(VL) result = Z[d, VL]; for e = 0 to elements-1 if ActivePredicateElement(mask, e, esize) then Elem[result, e, esize] = imm; Z[d, 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:
