simd(W1a-#9): U64x8/U32x16 andnot + ternlog — the masking primitives - #285
Conversation
Adds the two operators the polyfill lacked for mask composition: set
difference, and any 3-input boolean function selected by a truth-table
immediate. No new type — U64x8 (8 x u64 = 512 bits) and U32x16 already
exist in every backend and are re-exported from all six arms of simd.rs,
so simd.rs needs no dispatch change; the methods ride along.
Why these two: FieldMask-style bitsets had AND/OR/XOR and no and-not,
which is the operator 'stack this prerequisite, exclude that one' needs,
and no three-input form at all. Stacking N prerequisite masks cost N-1
ops; with ternlog it costs ceil((N-1)/2), and on AVX-512 each of those is
one instruction over 512 positions regardless of how many bits are set.
Semantics, identical on every backend:
a.andnot(b) = a & !b -- NOTE the argument order differs from the raw
intrinsic: _mm*_andnot_si*(a, b) computes !a & b. Documented at every
definition; the AVX-512 path swaps its arguments accordingly.
a.ternlog::<IMM>(b, c): per bit, index = (a<<2)|(b<<1)|c, result bit =
(IMM >> index) & 1 (Intel VPTERNLOG convention). IMM is i32 to match
the intrinsic; 0..=255 legal, enforced at compile time by the
intrinsic's own static assert. Named immediates (AND3, AND2_ANDNOT,
OR2_AND, MAJ3, ...) in the scalar backend's ternlog module.
Total functions: no saturation, no overflow, no UB, no lane interaction.
Backends. AVX-512 uses the native intrinsics; that module compiles only
under a global target_feature = avx512f, which is the guard -- no added
CPU check, no runtime detection. AVX2/NEON/wasm/scalar share ONE portable
body: an element-wise loop over the repr(align(64)) backing array, the
same idiom this file's existing BitAnd/BitOr/BitXor use. That is not a
scalar fallback -- measured codegen below.
Measured codegen (examples/w1a9_codegen_probe.rs, black_box'd inputs,
release):
v4 (config-avx512.toml):
ternlog::<0x80> -> vpternlogq /bin/bashx80,%zmm2,%zmm1,%zmm0 (1 insn)
ternlog::<0x40> -> vpternlogq /bin/bashx40,%zmm2,%zmm1,%zmm0 (1 insn)
andnot -> vandnps %zmm0,%zmm1,%zmm0 (1 insn)
v3 default (.cargo/config.toml):
ternlog::<0x80> -> 2 x [vmovaps ymm; vandps; vandps; vmovaps]
aligned moves, 512 bits in 8 insns
The portable body auto-vectorises to real ymm work; repr(align(64)) is
what earns the aligned vmovaps. Matches the storage documented for the
HSW/ARL profiles in .claude/knowledge/agnostic-surface-cpu-matrix.md.
Tests (5, at the simd.rs facade so they exercise whichever backend the
build selected): all 256 immediates against an independent bit-by-bit
truth-table reference; andnot direction with an anti-vacuity assertion
that the self-minus-other vs not-self-and-other distinction is actually
observable on the corpus; named-immediate meanings with a pairwise
distinctness check so aliasing cannot pass; agreement with the existing
BitAnd/BitOr/BitXor operators; the 32-bit-lane sibling. Fixed-seed
SplitMix64 corpus with edge cases (0, MAX, 0x5555.., 0xAAAA..), no
dev-dependency added.
Verification: lib suite 2207 passed / 0 failed on the v3 arm; cargo check
clean on the v4 arm; fmt clean; clippy adds no finding (3 pre-existing
warnings remain in property_mask.rs / bitwise.rs / palette_codec.rs,
untouched here).
Known gap, stated rather than papered over: the v4 arm's *test* build is
broken on main independently of this change (15 errors on a clean tree,
missing I8x16/U64x8/U16x8 types in unrelated test modules), so the parity
tests could not be RUN under AVX-512 -- only compiled. The native path is
verified by the disassembly above, not by a test execution.

Removes every lane index from the portable backends. andnot becomes `self & !other`; ternlog composes from the BitAnd/BitOr/Not these types already carry. No `for i in 0..N`, no per-lane helper functions -- masking is a projection over the whole register, and a loop expressed it as a traversal even though LLVM undid it. The two portable backends now carry byte-identical bodies, which is the polyfill's point: one source, one geometry, per-arch lowering selected by the compile-time dispatch in simd.rs. Scope note: ternlog is bitwise, so it has no lane semantics at all -- it applies its truth table independently at every bit position. Every reading of a 12-byte cell (6x2, 4x3, 3x4, 24xi4) is therefore masked by the IDENTICAL mask; the operation never sees, and never imposes, a carving. That is why this crate ships the node only: no fold, no composition structure, no state. Composition and interning belong to the consumer. Codegen re-measured after the rewrite, unchanged: v4: vpternlogq $0x80 / $0x40, vandnps -- one instruction each v3: 2 x [vmovaps ymm; vandps; vandps; vmovaps], aligned Net -49 lines. Suite 2207 passed / 0 failed, fmt clean, clippy baseline unchanged (3 pre-existing warnings in untouched files).

Named ternlog constants are unreachable
Low Severity
The new ternlog module (AND3, AND2_ANDNOT, and the other named immediates) lives only in simd_scalar.rs, which is compiled as a crate-private module on non-x86_64 only. It is never used (tests pass raw hex) and is not re-exported from crate::simd. AVX-512 docs still point callers at that module, which does not exist on the x86_64 path.

Implement masking methods in every dispatched backend
When targeting aarch64 or wasm32+simd128, ndarray::simd::U32x16 is re-exported from simd_neon or simd_wasm, and with nightly-simd both new types come from simd_nightly; none of those types receive these methods. Consequently, portable consumer code using andnot or ternlog compiles with the scalar/x86 backends but fails with E0599 on these supported dispatch arms, so the methods need equivalent implementations in each backend or a shared implementation applicable to all facade types.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Re-export the named ternlog constants
The new ternlog module is nested inside the pub(crate) scalar backend and is omitted from every explicit re-export in simd.rs; on x86 that scalar module is not compiled at all. Thus the advertised constants have no public path—use ndarray::simd::ternlog::AND3 fails on every backend—so the module should live in or be re-exported from the public facade.

CodeRabbit round 2, first finding: per the repo guideline every public API carries an example. Added compact # Examples blocks (andnot set difference; ternlog MAJ3 via the named facade immediate) to U64x8/U32x16 on scalar, avx2, avx512, nightly, and to U32x16 on neon and wasm. The avx512 examples execute in this environment's doc-test run (512 passed); the cfg-gated arms compile their examples only under their own targets. The second finding (do not extend the nightly-only backend) is declined with reasons on the PR thread: the nightly arm pre-exists behind the off-by-default nightly-simd feature, and codex's P1 in the same review round requires the methods on every dispatched arm precisely so no feature combination compiles into E0599.
