## Special Cases & Edge Conditions - **Round toward zero (truncate).** Each 32-bit float lane of `VB` has its fractional part dropped. `3.7 → 3.0`, `−3.7 → −3.0`. - **IEEE-754 binary32 output; `VSCR[NJ]` honoured.** - **Integer-too-big lanes are no-ops.** - **NaN and ±∞** pass through. - **No VSCR[SAT], no FPSCR update.** `vrfiz` is the VMX analogue of C's `truncf`. - **Big-endian lane indexing.** - **VMX128 sibling [`vrfiz128`](vrfiz128.md).** ## Related Instructions - [`vrfin`](vrfin.md), [`vrfim`](vrfim.md), [`vrfip`](vrfip.md) — the other three rounding modes. - [`vctsxs`](vctsxs.md), [`vctuxs`](vctuxs.md) — float → signed / unsigned fixed-point (these truncate too, and also apply a `UIMM` power-of-two scale). ## IBM Reference - [AIX 7.3 — `vrfiz` (Vector Round to Floating-Point Integer toward Zero)](https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/aix/7.3.0?topic=set-vrfiz-vector-round-floating-point-integer-toward-zero-instruction) - [IBM AltiVec Technology Programmer's Interface Manual, Chapter 5 — Floating-Point Arithmetic](https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/reference-manual/ALTIVECPIM.pdf)
