Neonint8x16_tvqshlq_s8(int8x16_t a, int8x16_t b)Shift / Left / Vector saturating shift left
Description
Signed saturating Shift Left (register). This instruction takes each element in the vector of the first source SIMD&FP register, shifts each element by a value from the least significant byte of the corresponding element of the second source SIMD&FP register, places the results in a vector, and writes the vector to the destination SIMD&FP register.

Operation

bits(datasize) operand2 = V[m];
bits(datasize) result;

integer round_const = 0;
integer shift;

boolean sat;

for e = 0 to elements-1
    shift = SInt(Elem[operand2, e, esize]<7:0>);
    if rounding then
        round_const = 1 << (-shift - 1); // 0 for left shift, 2^(n-1) for right shift 
    element = (Int(Elem[operand1, e, esize], unsigned) + round_const) << shift;
    if saturating then
