CLZ

Count leading zero bits (predicated)

Count the number of consecutive binary zero bits, starting from the most significant bit in each active element of the source vector, and place the results in the corresponding elements of the destination vector. Inactive elements in the destination vector register remain unmodified.

if !HaveSVE() && !HaveSME() then UNDEFINED; constant integer esize = 8 << UInt(size); integer g = UInt(Pg); integer n = UInt(Zn); integer d = UInt(Zd);

Assembler Symbols

<Zd>

Is the name of the destination scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zd" field.

<T>

Is the size specifier, encoded in size:

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

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled(); constant integer VL = CurrentVL; constant integer PL = VL DIV 8; constant integer elements = VL DIV esize; bits(PL) mask = P[g, PL]; bits(VL) operand = if AnyActiveElement(mask, esize) then Z[n, VL] else Zeros(VL); bits(VL) result = Z[d, VL]; for e = 0 to elements-1 if ActivePredicateElement(mask, e, esize) then bits(esize) element = Elem[operand, e, esize]; Elem[result, e, esize] = CountLeadingZeroBits(element)<esize-1:0>; Z[d, VL] = result;

Operational information

If FEAT_SVE2 is implemented or FEAT_SME is implemented, then if PSTATE.DIT is 1:

This instruction might be immediately preceded in program order by a MOVPRFX instruction. The MOVPRFX instruction must conform to all of the following requirements, otherwise the behavior of the MOVPRFX and this instruction is unpredictable:
