PTEST <Pg>, <Pn>.B

if !HaveSVE() && !HaveSME() then UNDEFINED; constant integer esize = 8; integer g = UInt(Pg); integer n = UInt(Pn);

Assembler Symbols

<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.

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled(); constant integer VL = CurrentVL; constant integer PL = VL DIV 8; bits(PL) mask = P[g, PL]; bits(PL) result = P[n, PL]; PSTATE.<N,Z,C,V> = PredTest(mask, result, esize);

Operational information

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

If FEAT_SME is implemented and the PE is in Streaming SVE mode, then any subsequent instruction which is dependent on the predicate register written by this instruction might be significantly delayed.
