llvm dev - Jul 2021 - [RISC-V V] How to read each bit of vbool8_t individually

There aren't really any instructions for doing this in the ISA. Solutions I
can think of are rounding vl to the next multiple of 8 and storing it to a
uint8_t using vse8. Then reading it back by looping over the array and
looking at all 8 bits of each uint8_t. Or you could use vmerge to turn into
a vuint8m1_t vector of 1 and 0.

Perhaps if you shared your use case I might be able to come up with
something else.

Thanks for your help, and here is the code:


#include <stdio.h&gt;
#include <riscv_vector.h&gt;


#define N 5


int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
&nbsp; signed char A[N] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
&nbsp; vint8m1_t B = vle8_v_i8m1(A, N);
&nbsp; vbool8_t C = vmseq_vx_i8m1_b8(B, 3, N);
&nbsp; int i;
&nbsp; for (i = 0; i < N; ++i)
&nbsp; {
&nbsp; &nbsp; if (C[i])
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; printf("INDEX:%d", i);
&nbsp; }
}

Thanks!
