What is arrangement specifier(.16b,.8b) in ARM assembly language instructions?
I want to what exactly is arrangement specifier in arm assembly instructions.
I have gone through ARM TRMs and i think if it is size of Neon register that will be used for computation
for e.g. TBL Vd.Ta, {Vn.16B,Vn+1.16B }, Vm.Ta
This is taken from http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.dui0802a/TBL_advsimd_vector.html they mentioned Ta to be arrangement specifier of value 16B or 8B
I would like to know what it means to.(Size of Neon Register .. anything..)
The arrangement specifier is the number and size of the elements in the vector, for example 8B means that you are looking at 8 elements of one byte (this will be a 64-bit vector), and 16B is 16 elements of 1 byte (128-bit vector). This is taken from the ARM Reference Manual:
