VST2 (multiple 2-element structures)

Store multiple 2-element structures from two or four registers stores multiple 2-element structures from two or four registers to memory, with interleaving. For more information, see Element and structure load/store instructions. Every element of each register is saved. For details of the addressing mode, see Advanced SIMD addressing mode.

Depending on settings in the CPACR, NSACR, and HCPTR registers, and the Security state and PE mode in which the instruction is executed, an attempt to execute the instruction might be undefined, or trapped to Hyp mode. For more information, see Enabling Advanced SIMD and floating-point support.

It has encodings from the following instruction sets: A32 ( A1 and A2 ) and T32 ( T1 and T2 ) .

Assembler Symbols

<c>

For encoding A1 and A2: see Standard assembler syntax fields. This encoding must be unconditional.

For encoding T1 and T2: see Standard assembler syntax fields.

<q>

See Standard assembler syntax fields.

<size>

Is the data size, encoded in size:

size <size>
00 8
01 16
10 32
11 RESERVED
<list>

Is a list containing the 64-bit names of the SIMD&FP registers.

The list must be one of:

{ <Dd>, <Dd+1> }
Two single-spaced registers. Selects the A1 and T1 encodings of the instruction, and encoded in the "itype" field as 0b1000.
{ <Dd>, <Dd+2> }
Two double-spaced registers. Selects the A1 and T1 encodings of the instruction, and encoded in the "itype" field as 0b1001.
{ <Dd>, <Dd+1>, <Dd+2>, <Dd+3> }
Three single-spaced registers. Selects the A2 and T2 encodings of the instruction.

The register <Dd> is encoded in the "D:Vd" field.

<Rn>

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

<align>

Is the optional alignment.

Whenever <align> is omitted, the standard alignment is used, see Unaligned data access, and is encoded in the "align" field as 0b00.

Whenever <align> is present, the permitted values are:

64
64-bit alignment, encoded in the "align" field as 0b01.
128
128-bit alignment, encoded in the "align" field as 0b10.
256
256-bit alignment, encoded in the "align" field as 0b11. Available only if <list> contains four registers.

: is the preferred separator before the <align> value, but the alignment can be specified as @<align>, see Advanced SIMD addressing mode.

<Rm>

Is the general-purpose index register containing an offset applied after the access, encoded in the "Rm" field.

For more information about the variants of this instruction, see Advanced SIMD addressing mode.

Operation

if ConditionPassed() then EncodingSpecificOperations(); CheckAdvSIMDEnabled(); address = R[n]; constant boolean nontemporal = FALSE; constant boolean tagchecked = FALSE; constant AccessDescriptor accdesc = CreateAccDescASIMD(MemOp_STORE, nontemporal, tagchecked); if !IsAligned(address, alignment) then AArch32.Abort(address, AlignmentFault(accdesc)); for r = 0 to pairs-1 for e = 0 to elements-1 MemU[address, ebytes] = Elem[D[d+r], e,8*ebytes]; MemU[address+ebytes,ebytes] = Elem[D[d2+r],e,8*ebytes]; address = address + 2*ebytes; if wback then if register_index then R[n] = R[n] + R[m]; else R[n] = R[n] + 16*pairs;

Operational information

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