SBC

Subtract with carry

This instruction subtracts a register value and the value of NOT (Carry flag) from a register value, and writes the result to the destination register.

This instruction is used by the alias NGC.

Assembler Symbols

<Wd>

Is the 32-bit name of the general-purpose destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.

<Wn>

Is the 32-bit name of the first general-purpose source register, encoded in the "Rn" field.

<Wm>

Is the 32-bit name of the second general-purpose source register, encoded in the "Rm" field.

<Xd>

Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.

<Xn>

Is the 64-bit name of the first general-purpose source register, encoded in the "Rn" field.

<Xm>

Is the 64-bit name of the second general-purpose source register, encoded in the "Rm" field.

Alias Conditions

AliasIs preferred when
NGCRn == '11111'

Operation

let operand1 : bits(datasize) = X{}(n); let operand2 : bits(datasize) = NOT(X{datasize}(m)); var result : bits(datasize); (result, -) = AddWithCarry{datasize}(operand1, operand2, PSTATE.C); X{datasize}(d) = result;

Operational information

This instruction is a data-independent-time instruction as described in About PSTATE.DIT.
