Description

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

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled();
constant integer VL = CurrentVL;
constant integer PL = VL DIV 8;
constant integer elements = VL DIV esize;
bits(PL) mask = P[g, PL];
bits(PL) operand1 = P[n, PL];
bits(PL) operand2 = P[m, PL];
bits(PL) result;
constant integer psize = esize DIV 8;

for e = 0 to elements-1
    bit element1 = PredicateElement(operand1, e, esize);
    bit element2 = PredicateElement(operand2, e, esize);
    if ActivePredicateElement(mask, e, esize) then
        Elem[result, e, psize] = ZeroExtend(element1 AND (NOT element2), psize);
    else
        Elem[result, e, psize] = ZeroExtend('0', psize);

if setflags then
    PSTATE.<N,Z,C,V> = PredTest(mask, result, esize);
P[d, PL] = result;
