BFC

Bitfield Clear sets a bitfield of <width> bits at bit position <lsb> of the destination register to zero, leaving the other destination bits unchanged.

This is an alias of BFM. This means:

Leaving other bits unchanged

32-bit (sf == 0 && N == 0)

BFC <Wd>, #<lsb>, #<width>

is equivalent to

BFM <Wd>, WZR, #(-<lsb> MOD 32), #(<width>-1)

and is the preferred disassembly when UInt(imms) < UInt(immr).

64-bit (sf == 1 && N == 1)

BFC <Xd>, #<lsb>, #<width>

is equivalent to

BFM <Xd>, XZR, #(-<lsb> MOD 64), #(<width>-1)

and is the preferred disassembly when UInt(imms) < UInt(immr).

Assembler Symbols

<Wd>

Is the 32-bit name of the general-purpose destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.

<Xd>

Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.

<lsb>

For the 32-bit variant: is the bit number of the lsb of the destination bitfield, in the range 0 to 31.

For the 64-bit variant: is the bit number of the lsb of the destination bitfield, in the range 0 to 63.

<width>

For the 32-bit variant: is the width of the bitfield, in the range 1 to 32-<lsb>.

For the 64-bit variant: is the width of the bitfield, in the range 1 to 64-<lsb>.
