MOV (immediate, predicated, zeroing)

Move signed integer immediate to vector elements (zeroing)

Move a signed integer immediate to each active element in the destination vector. Inactive elements in the destination vector register are set to zero.

The immediate operand is a signed value in the range -128 to +127, and for element widths of 16 bits or higher it may also be a signed multiple of 256 in the range -32768 to +32512 (excluding 0).

The immediate is encoded in 8 bits with an optional left shift by 8. The preferred disassembly when the shift option is specified is "#<simm8>, LSL #8". However an assembler and disassembler may also allow use of the shifted 16-bit value unless the immediate is 0 and the shift amount is 8, which must be unambiguously described as "#0, LSL #8".

This is an alias of CPY (immediate, zeroing). This means:

MOV <Zd>.<T>, <Pg>/Z, #<imm>{, <shift>}

is equivalent to

CPY <Zd>.<T>, <Pg>/Z, #<imm>{, <shift>}

and is always the preferred disassembly.

Assembler Symbols

<Zd>

Is the name of the destination scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zd" field.

<T>

Is the size specifier, encoded in size:

size <T>
00 B
01 H
10 S
11 D
<Pg>

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

<imm>

Is a signed immediate in the range -128 to 127, encoded in the "imm8" field.

<shift>

Is the optional left shift to apply to the immediate, defaulting to LSL #0 and encoded in sh:

sh <shift>
0 LSL #0
1 LSL #8

Operation

The description of CPY (immediate, zeroing) gives the operational pseudocode for this instruction.
