Bit concatenation | Compaq ECQD2KCTE specification

Table 3–7: Operators (Continued)

Operator	Meaning

	Bit concatenation
{}	Indicates explicit operator precedence
(x)	Contents of memory location whose address is x
x <m:n>	Contents of bit field of x defined by bits n through m
x <m>	M’th bit of x
ACCESS(x,y)	Accessibility of the location whose address is x using the
	access mode y. Returns a Boolean value TRUE if the
	address is accessible, else FALSE.
AND	Logical product
ARITH_RIGHT_SHIFT(x,y)	Arithmetic right shift of first operand by the second oper-
	and. Y is an unsigned shift value. Bit 63, the sign bit, is
	copied into vacated bit positions and shifted out bits are
	discarded.
BYTE_ZAP(x,y)	X is a quadword, y is an 8-bit vector in which each bit
	corresponds to a byte of the result. The y bit to x byte cor-
	respondence is y <n> ↔ x <8n+7:8n>. This correspon-
	dence also exists between y and the result.
	For each bit of y from n = 0 to 7, if y <n> is 0 then byte
	<n> of x is copied to byte <n> of result, and if y <n> is 1
	then byte <n> of result is forced to all zeros.
