STMIB, STMFA

Store Multiple Increment Before (Full Ascending) stores multiple registers to consecutive memory locations using an address from a base register. The consecutive memory locations start just above this address, and the address of the last of those locations can optionally be written back to the base register.

The lowest-numbered register is loaded from the lowest memory address, through to the highest-numbered register from the highest memory address. See also Encoding of lists of general-purpose registers and the PC.

Armv8.2 permits the deprecation of some Store Multiple ordering behaviors in AArch32 state, for more information see FEAT_LSMAOC. For details of related system instructions see STM (User registers).

CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE behavior

If BitCount(registers) < 1, then one of the following behaviors must occur:

If n == 15 && wback, then one of the following behaviors must occur:

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.

!

The address adjusted by the size of the data loaded is written back to the base register. If specified, it is encoded in the "W" field as 1, otherwise this field defaults to 0.

<registers>

Is a list of one or more registers to be stored, separated by commas and surrounded by { and }.

The PC can be in the list. However, Arm deprecates the use of instructions that include the PC in the list.

If base register writeback is specified, and the base register is not the lowest-numbered register in the list, such an instruction stores an unknown value for the base register.

Operation

if ConditionPassed() then EncodingSpecificOperations(); address = R[n] + 4; for i = 0 to 14 if registers<i> == '1' then if i == n && wback && i != LowestSetBit(registers) then MemS[address,4] = bits(32) UNKNOWN; else MemS[address,4] = R[i]; address = address + 4; if registers<15> == '1' then MemS[address,4] = PCStoreValue(); if wback then R[n] = R[n] + 4*BitCount(registers);

Operational information

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