instructions can be used to match combinations of multiply/divide and VCVT
(between floating-point and integer, Advanced SIMD). Basically the VCVT
immediate operand that specifies the number of fraction bits corresponds to a
floating-point multiply or divide by the corresponding power of 2.
For example, VCVT (floating-point to fixed-point, Advanced SIMD) can replace a
combination of VMUL and VCVT (floating-point to integer) as follows:
Example (assume d17 = <float 8.000000e+00, float 8.000000e+00>):
vmul.f32 d16, d17, d16
vcvt.s32.f32 d16, d16
becomes:
vcvt.s32.f32 d16, d16, #3
Similarly, VCVT (fixed-point to floating-point, Advanced SIMD) can replace a
combinations of VCVT (integer to floating-point) and VDIV as follows:
Example (assume d17 = <float 8.000000e+00, float 8.000000e+00>):
vcvt.f32.s32 d16, d16
vdiv.f32 d16, d17, d16
becomes:
vcvt.f32.s32 d16, d16, #3
