QDSUB

Saturating Double and Subtract subtracts a doubled register value from another register value, and writes the result to the destination register. Both the doubling and the subtraction have their results saturated to the 32-bit signed integer range -231 <= x <= 231 - 1. If saturation occurs in either operation, it sets PSTATE.Q to 1.

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.

<Rd>

Is the general-purpose destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.

<Rm>

Is the first general-purpose source register, encoded in the "Rm" field.

<Rn>

Is the second general-purpose source register, encoded in the "Rn" field.

Operation

if ConditionPassed() then EncodingSpecificOperations(); constant (doubled, sat1) = SignedSatQ(2 * SInt(R[n]), 32); boolean sat2; (R[d], sat2) = SignedSatQ(SInt(R[m]) - SInt(doubled), 32); if sat1 || sat2 then PSTATE.Q = '1';
