BSL

Bitwise select

This instruction sets each bit in the destination SIMD&FP register to the corresponding bit from the first source SIMD&FP register when the original destination bit was 1, otherwise from the second source SIMD&FP register.

Depending on the settings in the CPACR_EL1, CPTR_EL2, and CPTR_EL3 registers, and the current Security state and Exception level, an attempt to execute the instruction might be trapped.

Encoding

BSL <Vd>.<T>, <Vn>.<T>, <Vm>.<T>

Decode for this encoding

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_AdvSIMD) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); end; let d : integer{} = UInt(Rd); let n : integer{} = UInt(Rn); let m : integer{} = UInt(Rm); let datasize : integer{} = 64 << UInt(Q);

Assembler Symbols

<Vd>

Is the name of the SIMD&FP destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.

<T>

Is an arrangement specifier, encoded in Q:

Q <T>
0 8B
1 16B
<Vn>

Is the name of the first SIMD&FP source register, encoded in the "Rn" field.

<Vm>

Is the name of the second SIMD&FP source register, encoded in the "Rm" field.

Operation

AArch64_CheckFPAdvSIMDEnabled(); let operand1 : bits(datasize) = V{}(m); let operand2 : bits(datasize) = V{}(d); let operand3 : bits(datasize) = V{}(n); V{datasize}(d) = operand1 XOR ((operand1 XOR operand3) AND operand2);

Operational information

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