LASTB (scalar)

Extract last element to general-purpose register

This instruction extracts the Last active element to a general-purpose register. If there is an Active element, the Last active element from the final source vector register is extracted. If there are no Active elements, the highest-numbered element is extracted. Then the extracted element is zero-extended and placed in the destination general-purpose register.

Decode

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE) && !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); constant integer esize = 8 << UInt(size); constant integer rsize = if esize < 64 then 32 else 64; constant integer g = UInt(Pg); constant integer n = UInt(Zn); constant integer d = UInt(Rd); constant boolean isBefore = TRUE;

Assembler Symbols

<R>

Is a width specifier, encoded in size:

size	<R>
00	W
01	W
10	W
11	X

<d>	Is the number [0-30] of the destination general-purpose register or the name ZR (31), encoded in the "Rd" field.

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

<Zn>	Is the name of the source scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zn" field.

<T>

Is the size specifier, encoded in size:

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

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) operand = Z[n, VL]; bits(rsize) result; integer last = LastActiveElement(mask, esize); if isBefore then if last < 0 then last = elements - 1; else last = last + 1; if last >= elements then last = 0; result = ZeroExtend(Elem[operand, last, esize], rsize); X[d, rsize] = result;

Operational information

If FEAT_SME is implemented and the PE is in Streaming SVE mode, then any subsequent instruction which is dependent on the general-purpose register written by this instruction might be significantly delayed.
