LDFF1H (scalar plus scalar)

Contiguous load with first-faulting behavior of unsigned halfwords to elements of a vector register from the memory address generated by a 64-bit scalar base and scalar index which is multiplied by 2 and added to the base address. After each element access the index value is incremented, but the index register is not updated. Inactive elements will not cause a read from Device memory or signal a fault, and are set to zero in the destination vector.

This instruction is illegal when executed in Streaming SVE mode, unless FEAT_SME_FA64 is implemented and enabled.

16-bit element

if !HaveSVE() then UNDEFINED; integer t = UInt(Zt); integer n = UInt(Rn); integer m = UInt(Rm); integer g = UInt(Pg); constant integer esize = 16; constant integer msize = 16; boolean unsigned = TRUE;

32-bit element

if !HaveSVE() then UNDEFINED; integer t = UInt(Zt); integer n = UInt(Rn); integer m = UInt(Rm); integer g = UInt(Pg); constant integer esize = 32; constant integer msize = 16; boolean unsigned = TRUE;

64-bit element

if !HaveSVE() then UNDEFINED; integer t = UInt(Zt); integer n = UInt(Rn); integer m = UInt(Rm); integer g = UInt(Pg); constant integer esize = 64; constant integer msize = 16; boolean unsigned = TRUE;

Assembler Symbols

<Zt>	Is the name of the scalable vector register to be transferred, encoded in the "Zt" field.

<Pg>	Is the name of the governing scalable predicate register P0-P7, encoded in the "Pg" field.

<Xn|SP>

Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose base register or stack pointer, encoded in the "Rn" field.

<Xm>	Is the optional 64-bit name of the general-purpose offset register, defaulting to XZR, encoded in the "Rm" field.
