FLDM*X (FLDMDBX, FLDMIAX)

FLDMDBX is the Decrement Before variant of this instruction, and FLDMIAX is the Increment After variant. FLDM*X loads multiple SIMD&FP registers from consecutive locations in the Advanced SIMD and floating-point register file using an address from a general-purpose register.

Arm deprecates use of FLDMDBX and FLDMIAX, except for disassembly purposes, and reassembly of disassembled code.

Depending on settings in the CPACR, NSACR, and HCPTR registers, and the Security state and PE mode in which the instruction is executed, an attempt to execute the instruction might be undefined, or trapped to Hyp mode. For more information, see Enabling Advanced SIMD and floating-point support.

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

Assembler Symbols

<c>

See Standard assembler syntax fields.

<q>

See Standard assembler syntax fields.

<Rn>

Is the general-purpose base register, encoded in the "Rn" field. If writeback is not specified, the PC can be used.

!

Specifies base register writeback. Encoded in the "W" field as 1 if present, otherwise 0.

<dreglist>

Is the list of consecutively numbered 64-bit SIMD&FP registers to be transferred. The first register in the list is encoded in "D:Vd", and "imm8" is set to twice the number of registers in the list plus one. The list must contain at least one register, all registers must be in the range D0-D15, and must not contain more than 16 registers.

Operation

if ConditionPassed() then EncodingSpecificOperations(); CheckVFPEnabled(TRUE); address = if add then R[n] else R[n]-imm32; for r = 0 to regs-1 if single_regs then S[d+r] = MemA[address,4]; address = address+4; else constant word1 = MemA[address,4]; constant word2 = MemA[address+4,4]; address = address+8; // Combine the word-aligned words in the correct order for current endianness. D[d+r] = if BigEndian(AccessType_ASIMD) then word1:word2 else word2:word1; if wback then R[n] = if add then R[n]+imm32 else R[n]-imm32;

Operational information

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