AND, ANDS (predicates)

Bitwise AND predicates

Bitwise AND 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. Optionally sets the First (N), None (Z), !Last (C) condition flags based on the predicate result, and the V flag to zero.

This instruction is used by the aliases MOVS (predicated), and MOV (predicate, predicated, zeroing).

It has encodings from 2 classes: Not setting the condition flags and Setting the condition flags

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.

Alias Conditions

AliasIs preferred when
MOVS (predicated)S == '1' && Pn == Pm
MOV (predicate, predicated, zeroing)S == '0' && Pn == Pm

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled(); integer elements = VL DIV esize; bits(PL) mask = P[g]; bits(PL) operand1 = P[n]; bits(PL) operand2 = P[m]; bits(PL) result; for e = 0 to elements-1 bit element1 = ElemP[operand1, e, esize]; bit element2 = ElemP[operand2, e, esize]; if ElemP[mask, e, esize] == '1' then ElemP[result, e, esize] = element1 AND element2; else ElemP[result, e, esize] = '0'; if setflags then PSTATE.<N,Z,C,V> = PredTest(mask, result, esize); P[d] = result;
