CLZ (vector)
Count leading zero bits (vector)
This instruction counts the number of consecutive zeros, starting from the most significant bit, in each
vector element in the source SIMD&FP register, places the result into a vector,
and writes the vector to the destination SIMD&FP register.
Depending on the settings in the CPACR_EL1,
CPTR_EL2, and CPTR_EL3 registers,
and the current Security state and Exception level,
an attempt to execute the instruction might be trapped.
If PSTATE.DIT is 1:
The execution time of this instruction is independent of:
The values of the data supplied in any of its registers.
The values of the NZCV flags.
The response of this instruction to asynchronous exceptions does not vary based on:
The values of the data supplied in any of its registers.
The values of the NZCV flags.
