Operation

The CLZ instruction counts the number of leading zeros in the value in Rm and returns the result in Rd. The result value is 32 if no bits are set in the source register, and zero if bit 31 is set.

Register restrictions

You cannot use PC for any operand.

You can use SP in these A32 instructions but this is deprecated.

You cannot use SP in T32 instructions.

Condition flags

This instruction does not change the flags.

Architectures

This 32-bit instruction is available in A32 and T32.

There is no 16-bit version of this instruction in T32.

Examples

    CLZ     r4,r9
    CLZNE   r2,r3

Use the CLZ T32 instruction followed by a left shift of Rm by the resulting Rd value to normalize the value of register Rm. Use MOVS, rather than MOV, to flag the case where Rm is zero:

    CLZ r5, r9
    MOVS r9, r9, LSL r5
