SUBP

Subtract pointer

This instruction subtracts the 56-bit address held in the second source register from the 56-bit address held in the first source register, sign-extends the result to 64 bits, and writes the result to the destination register.

Encoding

Decode for this encoding

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_MTE) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); end; let d : integer{} = UInt(Rd); let n : integer{} = UInt(Rn); let m : integer{} = UInt(Rm);

Assembler Symbols

<Xd>

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

<Xn|SP>

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

<Xm|SP>

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

Operation

var operand1 : bits(64) = if n == 31 then SP{64}() else X{64}(n); var operand2 : bits(64) = if m == 31 then SP{64}() else X{64}(m); operand1 = SignExtend{64}(operand1[55:0]); operand2 = NOT(SignExtend{64}(operand2[55:0])); var result : bits(64); (result, -) = AddWithCarry{64}(operand1, operand2, '1'); X{64}(d) = result;
