CLZ (vector)

Count Leading Zero bits (vector). This instruction counts the number of consecutive zeros, starting from the most significant bit, in each vector element in the source SIMD&FP register, places the result into a vector, and writes the vector to the destination SIMD&FP register.

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.

Operation

CheckFPAdvSIMDEnabled64(); bits(datasize) operand = V[n]; bits(datasize) result; integer count; for e = 0 to elements-1 if countop == CountOp_CLS then count = CountLeadingSignBits(Elem[operand, e, esize]); else count = CountLeadingZeroBits(Elem[operand, e, esize]); Elem[result, e, esize] = count<esize-1:0>; V[d] = result;
