INCB, INCD, INCH, INCW (scalar)

Increment scalar by multiple of predicate constraint element count

Determines the number of active elements implied by the named predicate constraint, multiplies that by an immediate in the range 1 to 16 inclusive, and then uses the result to increment the scalar destination.

The named predicate constraint limits the number of active elements in a single predicate to:

A fixed number (VL1 to VL256)

The largest power of two (POW2)

The largest multiple of three or four (MUL3 or MUL4)

All available, implicitly a multiple of two (ALL).

Unspecified or out of range constraint encodings generate an empty predicate or zero element count rather than Undefined Instruction exception.

Decoding algorithm

    EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF);
constant integer esize = 32;
constant integer dn = UInt(Rdn);

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled();
constant integer count = DecodePredCount(pat, esize);
constant integer VL = CurrentVL;
constant bits(64) operand1 = X[dn, 64];
X[dn, 64] = operand1 + (count * imm);

Explanations

<Xdn>: Is the 64-bit name of the source and destination general-purpose register, encoded in the "Rdn" field.
<pattern>: <imm>: Is the immediate multiplier, in the range 1 to 16, defaulting to 1, encoded in the "imm4" field.

Operational Notes

If PSTATE.DIT is 1:

• The execution time of this instruction is independent of:
  • The values of the data supplied in any of its registers.
  • The values of the NZCV flags.
• The response of this instruction to asynchronous exceptions does not vary based on:
  • The values of the data supplied in any of its registers.
  • The values of the NZCV flags.
