Count trailing zero bits

This instruction is defined by:

Encoding

Synopsis

This instruction counts the number of 0’s before the first 1, starting at the least-significant bit (i.e., 0) and progressing to the most-significant bit (i.e., XLEN-1). Accordingly, if the input is 0, the output is XLEN, and if the least-significant bit of the input is a 1, the output is 0.

Access

Always

Decode Variables

Bits<5> rs1 = $encoding[19:15];
Bits<5> rd = $encoding[11:7];

Execution

Pruned, XLEN == 64
Original

X[rd] = (63) - $signed(lowest_set_bit(X[rs1]));

if (implemented?(ExtensionName::B) && (CSR[misa].B == 1'b0)) {
  raise(ExceptionCode::IllegalInstruction, mode(), $encoding);
}
X[rd] = (xlen() - 1) - $signed(lowest_set_bit(X[rs1]));
