XAR

Bitwise exclusive-OR and rotate right by immediate

This instruction performs a bitwise exclusive-OR on the corresponding elements of the first and second source vectors, then rotates each result element right by an immediate amount. The final results are destructively placed in the corresponding elements of the destination and first source vector. This instruction is unpredicated.

SVE2 class

Encoding

XAR <Zdn>.<T>, <Zdn>.<T>, <Zm>.<T>, #<const>

Decode

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE2) && !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); constant bits(4) tsize = tszh:tszl; if tsize == '0000' then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); constant integer esize = 8 << HighestSetBitNZ(tsize); constant integer m = UInt(Zm); constant integer dn = UInt(Zdn); constant integer rot = (2 * esize) - UInt(tsize:imm3);

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 tszh:tszl:

tszh tszl <T>
00 00 RESERVED
00 01 B
00 1x H
01 xx S
1x xx D
<Zm>

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

<const>

Is the immediate shift amount, in the range 1 to number of bits per element, encoded in "tszh:tszl:imm3".

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled(); constant integer VL = CurrentVL; constant integer elements = VL DIV esize; constant bits(VL) operand1 = Z[dn, VL]; constant bits(VL) operand2 = Z[m, VL]; bits(VL) result; for e = 0 to elements-1 constant bits(esize) element1 = Elem[operand1, e, esize]; constant bits(esize) element2 = Elem[operand2, e, esize]; Elem[result, e, esize] = ROR(element1 EOR element2, rot); Z[dn, VL] = result;

Operational information

This instruction is a data-independent-time instruction as described in About PSTATE.DIT.

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:
