Load-Acquire RCpc Register Byte derives an address from a base register value, loads a byte from the derived address in memory, zero-extends it and writes it to a register.
The instruction has memory ordering semantics as described in Load-Acquire, Load-AcquirePC, and Store-Release, except that:
This difference in memory ordering is not described in the pseudocode.
For information about memory accesses, see Load/Store addressing modes.

| <Wt> |
Is the 32-bit name of the general-purpose register to be loaded, encoded in the "Rt" field. |
| <Xn|SP> |
Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose base register or stack pointer, encoded in the "Rn" field. |
bits(64) address; bits(8) data; AccessDescriptor accdesc = CreateAccDescLDAcqPC(tagchecked); if n == 31 then CheckSPAlignment(); address = SP[]; else address = X[n, 64]; data = Mem[address, 1, accdesc]; X[t, 32] = ZeroExtend(data, 32);
If PSTATE.DIT is 1, the timing of this instruction is insensitive to the value of the data being loaded or stored.
