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.

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

constant bits(datasize) operand2 = V[d, datasize];
constant bits(esize) mask = LSL(Ones(esize), shift);

for e = 0 to elements-1
    shifted = LSL(Elem[operand, e, esize], shift);
    Elem[result, e, esize] = (Elem[operand2, e, esize] AND NOT(mask)) OR shifted;
V[d, datasize] = result;

Explanations

<d>: Is the number of the SIMD&FP destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.
<n>: Is the number of the SIMD&FP source register, encoded in the "Rn" field.
<shift>: For the "Scalar" variant: is the left shift amount, in the range 0 to 63, encoded as UInt("immh:immb") - 64.
<shift>: <Vd>: Is the name of the SIMD&FP destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.
<T>: <Vn>: Is the name of the SIMD&FP source register, encoded in the "Rn" 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.
