In LEGv8, the <code>NOT<\/code> instruction doesn&#8217;t exist as a native operation, so we must implement it using the minimal set of available instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Minimal set of LEGv8 instructions:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>EOR X12, X13, X13, LSL #0\nADD X12, X12, XZR<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>EOR (Exclusive OR) Instruction<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>   EOR X12, X13, X13, LSL #0<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>EOR<\/strong> instruction performs an <strong>exclusive OR (XOR)<\/strong> operation between two registers. The result of the XOR operation is 1 when the corresponding bits of the two operands are different, and 0 when they are the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By performing <code>EOR X13, X13, X13, LSL #0<\/code>, we effectively XOR register <strong>X13<\/strong> with itself. The result of this XOR operation will be a register with all bits set to <code>0<\/code>. However, the key insight here is that this operation also allows us to control the inversion behavior by using the <strong>Logical Shift Left (LSL #0)<\/strong>, which ensures that <strong>X13<\/strong> is unchanged by the shift but can still be utilized for the operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>ADD Instruction<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>   ADD X12, X12, XZR<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>After the <strong>EOR<\/strong> operation, the content in <strong>X12<\/strong> is now the complement of the original value in <strong>X13<\/strong>. However, the <strong>ADD X12, X12, XZR<\/strong> instruction is needed to store the result effectively. <strong>XZR<\/strong> is the zero register, which is always 0, so this <strong>ADD<\/strong> instruction has the effect of copying the value from <strong>X12<\/strong> into itself, ensuring that the result is correctly placed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This instruction is necessary because, without it, the original value of <strong>X12<\/strong> might be undefined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why this works:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The XOR operation inverts each bit of <strong>X13<\/strong>, which is equivalent to the <strong>NOT<\/strong> operation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>ADD<\/strong> instruction is simply used to finalize the result by copying the inverted value from <strong>X12<\/strong> into the destination register.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These two instructions achieve the desired result with minimal instruction
