SXTB

Signed Extend Byte extracts an 8-bit value from a register, sign-extends it to 32 bits, and writes the result to the destination register. The instruction can specify a rotation by 0, 8, 16, or 24 bits before extracting the 8-bit value.

It has encodings from the following instruction sets: A32 ( A1 ) and T32 ( T1 and T2 ) .

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

<amount>

Is the rotate amount, encoded in rotate:

rotate <amount>
00 (omitted)
01 8
10 16
11 24

Operation

if ConditionPassed() then EncodingSpecificOperations(); constant rotated = ROR(R[m], rotation); R[d] = SignExtend(rotated<7:0>, 32);

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:
