Hi all, The Current Vector API doc for `LSHR` is
Produce a>>>(n&(ESIZE*8-1)). Integral only. This is misleading which may lead to bugs for Java developers. This is because for negative byte/short elements, the results computed by `LSHR` will be different from that of `>>>`. For more details, please see https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/8276#issue-1206391831 . After the patch, the doc for `LSHR` is Produce zero-extended right shift of a by (n&(ESIZE*8-1)) bits. Integral only. Thanks.
