STLEXH

Store-Release Exclusive Halfword stores a halfword from a register to memory if the executing PE has exclusive access to the memory at that address, and returns a status value of 0 if the store was successful, or of 1 if no store was performed.

The instruction also has memory ordering semantics as described in Load-Acquire, Store-Release.

For more information about support for shared memory see Synchronization and semaphores. For information about memory accesses see Memory accesses.

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 destination general-purpose register into which the status result of the store exclusive is written, encoded in the "Rd" field. The value returned is:

0
If the operation updates memory.
1
If the operation fails to update memory.
<Rt>

Is the general-purpose register to be transferred, encoded in the "Rt" field.

<Rn>

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

Aborts and alignment

If a synchronous Data Abort exception is generated by the execution of this instruction:

A non word-aligned memory address causes an Alignment fault Data Abort exception to be generated, subject to the following rules:

If AArch32.ExclusiveMonitorsPass() returns FALSE and the memory address, if accessed, would generate a synchronous Data Abort exception, it is implementation defined whether the exception is generated.

Operation

if ConditionPassed() then EncodingSpecificOperations(); constant address = R[n]; if AArch32.ExclusiveMonitorsPass(address,2) then MemO[address, 2] = R[t]<15:0>; R[d] = ZeroExtend('0', 32); else R[d] = ZeroExtend('1', 32);

Operational information

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