LASTP

Scalar index of last true predicate element (predicated)

This instruction determines the index of the last active and true element of the source predicate, and places the scalar result in the destination general-purpose register. If there are no active and true elements, the destination general-purpose register is updated to the value minus one.

Encoding

LASTP <Xd>, <Pg>, <Pn>.<T>

Decode for this encoding

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE2p2) && !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME2p2) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); end; let esize : integer{} = 8 << UInt(size); let g : integer = UInt(Pg); let n : integer = UInt(Pn); let d : integer = UInt(Rd);

Assembler Symbols

<Xd>

Is the 64-bit name of the destination general-purpose register, encoded in the "Rd" field.

<Pg>

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

<Pn>

Is the name of the source scalable predicate register, encoded in the "Pn" field.

<T>

Is the size specifier, encoded in size:

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

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled(); let VL : integer{} = CurrentVL(); let PL : integer{} = VL DIV 8; let elements : integer = VL DIV esize; let mask : bits(PL) = P{}(g); let operand : bits(PL) = P{}(n); var index : integer = -1; for e = elements-1 downto 0 do if (index == -1 && ActivePredicateElement{PL}(mask, e, esize) && ActivePredicateElement{PL}(operand, e, esize)) then index = e; end; end; X{64}(d) = index[63:0];

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.
