SSAX

Signed Subtract and Add with Exchange exchanges the two halfwords of the second operand, performs one 16-bit integer subtraction and one 16-bit addition, and writes the results to the destination register. It sets PSTATE.GE according to the results.

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

SSAX{<c>}{<q>} {<Rd>,} <Rn>, <Rm>

constant d = UInt(Rd); constant n = UInt(Rn); constant m = UInt(Rm); // Armv8-A removes UNPREDICTABLE for R13 if d == 15 || n == 15 || m == 15 then UNPREDICTABLE;

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.

<Rn>

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

<Rm>

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

Operation

if ConditionPassed() then EncodingSpecificOperations(); constant sum = SInt(R[n]<15:0>) + SInt(R[m]<31:16>); constant diff = SInt(R[n]<31:16>) - SInt(R[m]<15:0>); R[d]<15:0> = sum<15:0>; R[d]<31:16> = diff<15:0>; PSTATE.GE<1:0> = if sum >= 0 then '11' else '00'; PSTATE.GE<3:2> = if diff >= 0 then '11' else '00';

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:
