SXTB, SXTH, SXTW

Sign-extend the least-significant sub-element of each active element of the source vector, and place the results in the corresponding elements of the destination vector. Inactive elements in the destination vector register remain unmodified.

Byte

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE) && !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME) then UNDEFINED; if size == '00' then UNDEFINED; constant integer esize = 8 << UInt(size); constant integer s_esize = 8; constant integer g = UInt(Pg); constant integer n = UInt(Zn); constant integer d = UInt(Zd); constant boolean unsigned = FALSE;

Halfword

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE) && !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME) then UNDEFINED; if size IN {'0x'} then UNDEFINED; constant integer esize = 8 << UInt(size); constant integer s_esize = 16; constant integer g = UInt(Pg); constant integer n = UInt(Zn); constant integer d = UInt(Zd); constant boolean unsigned = FALSE;

Word

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SVE) && !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_SME) then UNDEFINED; if size != '11' then UNDEFINED; constant integer esize = 8 << UInt(size); constant integer s_esize = 32; constant integer g = UInt(Pg); constant integer n = UInt(Zn); constant integer d = UInt(Zd); constant boolean unsigned = FALSE;

Assembler Symbols

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

<T>

For the byte variant: is the size specifier, encoded in size:

size	<T>
00	RESERVED
01	H
10	S
11	D

For the halfword variant: is the size specifier, encoded in size<0>:

size<0>	<T>
0	S
1	D

<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.

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 = if AnyActiveElement(mask, esize) then Z[n, VL] else Zeros(VL); bits(VL) result = Z[d, VL]; for e = 0 to elements-1 if ActivePredicateElement(mask, e, esize) then constant bits(esize) element = Elem[operand, e, esize]; Elem[result, e, esize] = Extend(element<s_esize-1:0>, esize, unsigned); Z[d, VL] = result;

Operational information

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

The execution time of this instruction is independent of:
- The values of the data supplied in any of its operand registers when its governing predicate register contains the same value for each execution.
- 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 operand registers when its governing predicate register contains the same value for each execution.
- The values of the NZCV flags.

This instruction might be immediately preceded in program order by a MOVPRFX instruction. The MOVPRFX must conform to all of the following requirements, otherwise the behavior of the MOVPRFX and this instruction is constrained unpredictable:

The MOVPRFX can be predicated or unpredicated.
A predicated MOVPRFX must use the same governing predicate register as this instruction.
A predicated MOVPRFX must use the larger of the destination element size and first source element size in the preferred disassembly of this instruction.
The MOVPRFX must specify the same destination register as this instruction.
The destination register must not refer to architectural register state referenced by any other source operand register of this instruction.
