CMP (immediate)

Compare (immediate) subtracts an immediate value from a register value. It updates the condition flags based on the result, and discards the result.

It has encodings from the following instruction sets: A32 ( A1 ) and T32 ( T1 and T2 ) .

A1

A1

CMP{<c>}{<q>} <Rn>, #<const>

constant n = UInt(Rn); constant imm32 = A32ExpandImm(imm12);

T1

T1

CMP{<c>}{<q>} <Rn>, #<imm8>

constant n = UInt(Rn); constant imm32 = ZeroExtend(imm8, 32);

T2

T2

CMP{<c>}.W <Rn>, #<const> // (<Rd>, <const> can be represented in T1)

CMP{<c>}{<q>} <Rn>, #<const>

constant n = UInt(Rn); constant imm32 = T32ExpandImm(i:imm3:imm8); if n == 15 then UNPREDICTABLE;

Assembler Symbols

<c>

See Standard assembler syntax fields.

<q>

See Standard assembler syntax fields.

<Rn>

For encoding A1: is the general-purpose source register, encoded in the "Rn" field. The PC can be used, but this is deprecated.

For encoding T1: is a general-purpose source register, encoded in the "Rn" field.

For encoding T2: is the general-purpose source register, encoded in the "Rn" field.

<imm8>

Is a 8-bit unsigned immediate, in the range 0 to 255, encoded in the "imm8" field.

<const>

For encoding A1: an immediate value. See Modified immediate constants in A32 instructions for the range of values.

For encoding T2: an immediate value. See Modified immediate constants in T32 instructions for the range of values.

Operation

if ConditionPassed() then EncodingSpecificOperations(); constant (result, nzcv) = AddWithCarry(R[n], NOT(imm32), '1'); PSTATE.<N,Z,C,V> = nzcv;

Operational information

If CPSR.DIT is 1, this instruction has passed its condition execution check, and does not use R15 as either its source or destination:
