LDR (immediate, SIMD&FP)

Load SIMD&FP Register (immediate offset). This instruction loads an element from memory, and writes the result as a scalar to the SIMD&FP register. The address that is used for the load is calculated from a base register value, a signed immediate offset, and an optional offset that is a multiple of the element size.

Depending on the settings in the CPACR_EL1, CPTR_EL2, and CPTR_EL3 registers, and the current Security state and Exception level, an attempt to execute the instruction might be trapped.

It has encodings from 3 classes: Post-index , Pre-index and Unsigned offset

Shared Decode

integer n = UInt(Rn); integer t = UInt(Rt); MemOp memop = if opc<0> == '1' then MemOp_LOAD else MemOp_STORE; constant integer datasize = 8 << scale; boolean tagchecked = memop != MemOp_PREFETCH && (wback || n != 31);

Operation

CheckFPEnabled64(); bits(64) address; bits(datasize) data; AccessDescriptor accdesc = CreateAccDescASIMD(memop, FALSE, tagchecked); if n == 31 then CheckSPAlignment(); address = SP[]; else address = X[n, 64]; if !postindex then address = GenerateAddress(address, offset, accdesc); case memop of when MemOp_STORE data = V[t, datasize]; Mem[address, datasize DIV 8, accdesc] = data; when MemOp_LOAD data = Mem[address, datasize DIV 8, accdesc]; V[t, datasize] = data; if wback then if postindex then address = GenerateAddress(address, offset, accdesc); if n == 31 then SP[] = address; else X[n, 64] = address;

Operational information

If PSTATE.DIT is 1, the timing of this instruction is insensitive to the value of the data being loaded or stored.
