clz
Count leading zero bits
This instruction is defined by:
-
anyOf:
-
B, version >= 0
-
Zbb, version >= 0
-
This instruction is included in the following profiles:
-
RVA22U64 (Mandatory)
Synopsis
This instruction counts the number of 0’s before the first 1, starting at the most-significant bit (i.e., XLEN-1) and progressing to bit 0. Accordingly, if the input is 0, the output is XLEN, and if the most-significant bit of the input is a 1, the output is 0.
