This is a collection of Intel®’ IA32® Software Developer's Manuals (URL of the day) and AMD' AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual together with the related specifications, application notes, white papers, and change logs. The collection aims to keep all available revisions. It was originally created by Michal Necasek, see OS/2 Museum.

VEXT (byte elements)

Vector Extract extracts elements from the bottom end of the second operand vector and the top end of the first, concatenates them and places the result in the destination vector.

The elements of the vectors are treated as being 8-bit fields. There is no distinction between data types.

The following figure shows an example of the operation of VEXT doubleword operation for imm = 3.

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.

This instruction is used by the pseudo-instruction VEXT (multibyte elements).

It has encodings from the following instruction sets: A32 ( A1 ) and T32 ( T1 ) .

A1

Decode for all variants of this encoding

if Q == '1' && (Vd[0] == '1' || Vn[0] == '1' || Vm[0] == '1') then Undefined(); end; if Q == '0' && imm4[3] == '1' then Undefined(); end; let quadword_operation : boolean = (Q == '1'); let position : integer{} = 8 * UInt(imm4); let d : integer = UInt(D::Vd); let n : integer = UInt(N::Vn); let m : integer = UInt(M::Vm);

T1

Decode for all variants of this encoding

if Q == '1' && (Vd[0] == '1' || Vn[0] == '1' || Vm[0] == '1') then Undefined(); end; if Q == '0' && imm4[3] == '1' then Undefined(); end; let quadword_operation : boolean = (Q == '1'); let position : integer{} = 8 * UInt(imm4); let d : integer = UInt(D::Vd); let n : integer = UInt(N::Vn); let m : integer = UInt(M::Vm);
