LASTB (SIMD&FP scalar)

Extract last element to SIMD&FP scalar register

If there is an active element then extract the last active element from the final source vector register. If there are no active elements, extract the highest-numbered element. Then place the extracted element in the destination SIMD&FP register.

Encoding: SVE

Variants: FEAT_SVE || FEAT_SME (FEAT_SVE || FEAT_SME)

Decoding algorithm

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE) && !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME) then
    EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF);
constant integer esize = 8 << UInt(size);
constant integer g = UInt(Pg);
constant integer n = UInt(Zn);
constant integer d = UInt(Vd);
constant boolean isBefore = TRUE;

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled();
constant integer VL = CurrentVL;
constant integer PL = VL DIV 8;
constant integer elements = VL DIV esize;
constant bits(PL) mask = P[g, PL];
constant bits(VL) operand = Z[n, VL];
integer last = LastActiveElement(mask, esize);

if isBefore then
    if last < 0 then last = elements - 1;
else
    last = last + 1;
    if last >= elements then last = 0;
V[d, esize] = Elem[operand, last, esize];

Explanations

<V>: <d>: Is the number [0-31] of the destination SIMD&FP register, encoded in the "Vd" field.
<Pg>: Is the name of the governing scalable predicate register P0-P7, encoded in the "Pg" field.
<Zn>: Is the name of the source scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zn" field.
<T>:
