Instruction Behavior
VSLIDE1UP.VX moves vs2 elements by offset 1 toward higher indexes into vd. The boundary element is filled from scalar x[rs1].
Quick Understanding & Search Notes
VSLIDE1UP.VX moves element positions within a vector register, useful for windows, shift-register patterns, and boundary insertion.
VSLIDE1UP inserts the scalar into vd[0] and moves vs2[i] to vd[i+1].
The destination vector register group cannot overlap the source group; otherwise the encoding is reserved.
If vstart>=vl or vl=0, no destination update is performed.

Pre-Use Checklist
Syntax Check
- Confirm the current instruction format is R-type.
- Confirm the operand order matches the example.
Semantic Check
- Ensure the destination register usage is compatible with the calling convention.
- Confirm this is not the lower-level form of a pseudo-instruction expansion.
Pitfalls / Common Confusions
The destination vector register group cannot overlap the source group.
The scalar x[rs1] is inserted at vd[0].
When XLEN and SEW differ, the inserted scalar is sign-extended or low-bit truncated by the official rule.
