ISB {<option>|#<imm>}

// No additional decoding required

Assembler Symbols

<option>

Specifies an optional limitation on the barrier operation. Values are:

SY
Full system barrier operation, encoded as CRm = 0b1111. Can be omitted.

All other encodings of CRm are reserved. The corresponding instructions execute as full system barrier operations, but must not be relied upon by software.

<imm>

Is an optional 4-bit unsigned immediate, in the range 0 to 15, defaulting to 15 and encoded in the "CRm" field.

Operation

InstructionSynchronizationBarrier(); if HaveBRBExt() && BRBEBranchOnISB() then boolean branch_conditional = FALSE; BRBEBranch(BranchType_DIR, branch_conditional, PC[] + 4);
