The NEON widening-shift-left-long intrinsics (vshll_n_s8/s16/s32 and vshll_n_u8/u16/u32) accept a shift amount in the range [0, element_size]. The bounds check in neon_vshll<sup>_n<mode> already permits a shift of zero (its stale comment said "0 < imm" while the code implements "0 <= imm"), but it then emitted a literal "vshll.<sz> qD, dN, #0". The VSHLL encoding cannot represent a shift of zero -- valid immediates are 1..element_size -- so the assembler rejected the output with "Error: immediate value out of range". A shift by the element size is encodable and continues to use VSHLL. The ACLE semantics of a widening shift-left by zero are exactly those of a widening move, so divert the imm == 0 case to VMOVL, which is the correct and encodable instruction. This turns previously-broken valid ACLE code into working code (better QoI than rejecting it). Nonzero shifts, including a shift by the element size, are unchanged.
