BICS

Bitwise clear predicates, setting the condition flags

Bitwise AND inverted active elements of the second source predicate with corresponding elements of the first source predicate and place the results in the corresponding elements of the destination predicate. Inactive elements in the destination predicate register are set to zero. Sets the First (N), None (Z), !Last (C) condition flags based on the predicate result, and the V flag to zero.

Assembler Symbols

<Pd>

Is the name of the destination scalable predicate register, encoded in the "Pd" field.

<Pg>

Is the name of the governing scalable predicate register, encoded in the "Pg" field.

<Pn>

Is the name of the first source scalable predicate register, encoded in the "Pn" field.

<Pm>

Is the name of the second source scalable predicate register, encoded in the "Pm" field.

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(PL) operand1 = P[n, PL]; constant bits(PL) operand2 = P[m, PL]; bits(PL) result; constant integer psize = esize DIV 8; for e = 0 to elements-1 constant bit element1 = PredicateElement(operand1, e, esize); constant bit element2 = PredicateElement(operand2, e, esize); if ActivePredicateElement(mask, e, esize) then Elem[result, e, psize] = ZeroExtend(element1 AND (NOT element2), psize); else Elem[result, e, psize] = ZeroExtend('0', psize); if setflags then PSTATE.<N,Z,C,V> = PredTest(mask, result, esize); P[d, PL] = result;

Operational information

If FEAT_SVE2 is implemented or FEAT_SME is implemented, then if PSTATE.DIT is 1:

If FEAT_SME is implemented and the PE is in Streaming SVE mode, then any subsequent instruction which is dependent on the NZCV condition flags written by this instruction might be significantly delayed.
