Abstract:
1. Apparatus for processing data comprising: data processing circuitry responsive to control signals to perform data processing operations; and instruction decoder circuitry coupled to said data processing circuitry and responsive to program instructions to generate said control signals; wherein said instruction decoder circuitry is responsive to a select-and-insert instruction having as input operands at least a first input value and a second input value to generate control signals to control said data processing circuitry to form an output value equal to that given by performing the steps of: shifting said first input value by N bit positions to form a shifted value, where N is an integer value greater than zero; selecting N bits from within said second input value in dependence upon said first input value; and concatenating said shifted value and said N bits to form said output value.
