Purpose:

Count Leading Ones in Word

To count the number of leading ones in a word.

Description:

 GPR[rt] = count_leading_ones GPR[rs]

Bits 31..0 of GPR rs are scanned from most significant to least significant bit. The number of leading ones is counted and the result is written to GPR rt. If all of bits 31..0 were set in GPR rs, the result written to GPR rt is 32.

Restrictions:

If GPR rs does not contain a sign-extended 32-bit value (bits 63..31 equal), then the results of the operation are

UNPREDICTABLE.

Operation:

if NotWordValue(GPR[rs]) then
   UNPREDICTABLE
endif
temp = 32
for i in 31 .. 0
   if GPR[rs]i = 0 then
      temp = 31 - i
      break
   endif
endfor
GPR[rt] = temp

Exceptions:

None
