How to implement saturation instructions in ARMv8 architecture?

Natesh Raina over 7 years ago

Is there a way to write an equivalent of 32-bit saturation instruction such as QADD or QSUB without using neon saturation instructions for Armv8 architecture?

Ah, sorry, I missed the intent of your question.

The only way to perform saturation in a single instruction is using the SIMD&FP instructions. They do have scalar variants (effectively ignoring all but a single lane - including for flag setting,) but they still operate on the FP register bank and set flags in FPSR rather than PSTATE.
