Abstract
An apparatus comprises: processing circuitry to perform data processing; and an instruction decoder to control the processing circuitry to perform an anchored-data processing operation to generate an anchored-data element. The anchored-data element has an encoding including type information indicative of whether the anchored-data element represents: a portion of bits of a two's complement number, said portion of bits corresponding to a given range of significance representable using the anchored-data element; or a special value other than said portion of bits of a two's complement number.
