Vector Table Extension

VTBX<c>.8 <Dd>, <list>, <Dm>

Inserts elements into a vector using a table lookup.

Pseudocode Operation

for i = 0 to 15 do
  index ← Dm.byte[i]
  if (index < (len + 1) * 16) then
    table_reg ← Vn + (index / 16)
    element_offset ← index mod 16
    Dd.byte[i] ← [table_reg].byte[element_offset]
  else
    Dd.byte[i] ← Dd.byte[i]

Example

VTBX.8 d0, {r0-r3}, d2

Description

Vector Table Lookup uses byte indexes in a control vector to look up byte values in a table and generate a new vector. Indexes out of range return 0. Vector Table Extension works in the same way, except that indexes out of range leave the destination element unchanged. Depending on settings in the CPACR, NSACR, and HCPTR registers, and the Security state and PE mode in which the instruction is executed, an attempt to execute the instruction might be undefined, or trapped to Hyp mode. For more information see Enabling Advanced SIMD and floating-point support.

    // Create 256-bit = 32-byte table variable, with zeros in entries that will not be used.
    table3 = if length == 4 then D[n+3] else Zeros(64);
    table2 = if length >= 3 then D[n+2] else Zeros(64);
    table1 = if length >= 2 then D[n+1] else Zeros(64);
    table = table3 : table2 : table1 : D[n];

    for i = 0 to 7
        index = UInt(Elem[D[m],i,8]);
        if index < 8*length then
            Elem[D[d],i,8] = Elem[table,index,8];
        else
            if is_vtbl then
                Elem[D[d],i,8] = Zeros(8);
            // else Elem[D[d],i,8] unchanged
