PFIRST

Set the first active predicate element to true

Sets the first active element in the destination predicate to true, otherwise elements from the source predicate are passed through unchanged. Sets the First (N), None (Z), !Last (C) condition flags based on the predicate result, and the V flag to zero.

if !HaveSVE() && !HaveSME() then UNDEFINED; integer esize = 8; integer g = UInt(Pg); integer dn = UInt(Pdn);

Assembler Symbols

<Pdn>

Is the name of the source and destination scalable predicate register, encoded in the "Pdn" field.

<Pg>

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

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled(); integer elements = VL DIV esize; bits(PL) mask = P[g]; bits(PL) result = P[dn]; integer first = -1; for e = 0 to elements-1 if ElemP[mask, e, esize] == '1' && first == -1 then first = e; if first >= 0 then ElemP[result, first, esize] = '1'; PSTATE.<N,Z,C,V> = PredTest(mask, result, esize); P[dn] = result;

Operational information

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.
