While incrementing signed scalar less than scalar
This instruction generates a predicate that starting from the lowest numbered element is true while the incrementing value of the first, signed scalar operand is less than the second scalar operand and false thereafter up to the highest numbered element.
The full width of the scalar operands is significant for the purposes of comparison, and the full width first operand is incremented by one for each destination predicate element, irrespective of the predicate result element size. The first general-purpose source register is not itself updated.
The predicate result is placed in the predicate destination register. This instruction sets the First (N), None (Z), and !Last (C) condition flags based on the predicate result, and sets the V flag to zero.
