CMLT (zero)

Compare signed Less than zero (vector). This instruction reads each vector element in the source SIMD&FP register and if the signed integer value is less than zero sets every bit of the corresponding vector element in the destination SIMD&FP register to one, otherwise sets every bit of the corresponding vector element in the destination SIMD&FP register to zero.

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.

It has encodings from 2 classes: Scalar and Vector

Assembler Symbols

<d>

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

<n>

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

<Vd>

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

<T>

Is an arrangement specifier, encoded in size:Q:

size Q <T>
00 0 8B
00 1 16B
01 0 4H
01 1 8H
10 0 2S
10 1 4S
