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.

The following figure shows an example of the operation of shift left by 3 for an 8-bit vector element.

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.

It has encodings from 2 classes: Scalar and Vector

Assembler Symbols

<d>

Is the number of the SIMD&FP destination register, in the "Rd" field.

<n>

Is the number of the first 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.

For the vector variant: is the left shift amount, in the range 0 to the element width in bits minus 1, encoded in immh:immb:

immh <shift>
0001 UInt(immh:immb) - 8
001x UInt(immh:immb) - 16
01xx UInt(immh:immb) - 32
1xxx UInt(immh:immb) - 64
<Vd>

Is the name of the SIMD&FP destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.

<T>

Is an arrangement specifier, encoded in immh:Q:

immh Q <T>
0001 0 8B
0001 1 16B
001x 0 4H
001x 1 8H
01xx 0 2S
01xx 1 4S
1xxx 0 RESERVED
1xxx 1 2D
<Vn>

Is the name of the SIMD&FP source register, encoded in the "Rn" field.

Operation

CheckFPAdvSIMDEnabled64(); bits(datasize) operand = V[n, datasize]; bits(datasize) operand2 = V[d, datasize]; bits(datasize) result; bits(esize) mask = LSL(Ones(esize), shift); bits(esize) shifted; 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;
