## CLZ

Count Leading Zeros counts the number of consecutive binary zero bits, starting from the most significant bit in the source register, and places the count in the destination register.

#### 32-bit (sf == 0)

CLZ <Wd>, <Wn>

#### 64-bit (sf == 1)

CLZ <Xd>, <Xn>

integer d = UInt(Rd); integer n = UInt(Rn); constant integer datasize = 32 << UInt(sf);

### Assembler Symbols

<Wd> | Is the 32-bit name of the general-purpose destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.

<Wn> | Is the 32-bit name of the general-purpose source register, encoded in the "Rn" field.

<Xd> | Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.

<Xn> | Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose source register, encoded in the "Rn" field.

### Operation

integer result; bits(datasize) operand1 = X[n, datasize]; result = CountLeadingZeroBits(operand1); X[d, datasize] = result<datasize-1:0>;

### Operational information

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.
