Vector Compare, raising Invalid Operation on NaN compares two floating-point registers, or one floating-point register and zero. It writes the result to the FPSCR flags. These are normally transferred to the PSTATE.{N, Z, C, V} Condition flags by a subsequent VMRS instruction.
It raises an Invalid Operation exception if either operand is any type of NaN.
Depending on settings in the CPACR, NSACR, and HCPTR registers, and the Security state and PE mode in which the instruction is executed, an attempt to execute the instruction might be undefined, or trapped to Hyp mode. For more information see Enabling Advanced SIMD and floating-point support.
It has encodings from the following instruction sets: A32 ( A1 and A2 ) and T32 ( T1 and T2 ) .

NaNs
The IEEE 754 standard specifies that the result of a comparison is precisely one of <, ==, > or unordered. If either or both of the operands are NaNs, they are unordered, and all three of (Operand1 < Operand2), (Operand1 == Operand2) and (Operand1 > Operand2) are false. This results in the FPSCR flags being set as N=0, Z=0, C=1 and V=1.
VCMPE raises an Invalid Operation exception if either operand is any type of NaN, and is suitable for testing for <, <=, >, >=, and other predicates that raise an exception when the operands are unordered.
