SLI

Shift left and insert (immediate)

This instruction reads each vector element in the source SIMD&FP register, left shifts each vector element by an immediate value, and inserts the result into the corresponding vector element in the destination SIMD&FP register such that the new zero bits created by the shift are not inserted but retain their existing value. Bits shifted out of the left of each vector element in the source register are lost.

The following figure shows an example of the operation of shift left by 3 for an 8-bit vector element.

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

Scalar
(FEAT_AdvSIMD)

Decode for this encoding

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_AdvSIMD) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); if immh<3> != '1' then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); constant integer d = UInt(Rd); constant integer n = UInt(Rn); constant integer esize = 8 << 3; constant integer datasize = esize; constant integer elements = 1; constant integer shift = UInt(immh:immb) - esize;

Vector
(FEAT_AdvSIMD)

Decode for this encoding

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_AdvSIMD) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); if immh == '0000' then SEE(asimdimm); if immh<3>:Q == '10' then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); constant integer d = UInt(Rd); constant integer n = UInt(Rn); constant integer esize = 8 << HighestSetBitNZ(immh); constant integer datasize = 64 << UInt(Q); constant integer elements = datasize DIV esize; constant integer shift = UInt(immh:immb) - esize;
