LD4 (multiple structures)

Load multiple 4-element structures to four registers. This instruction loads multiple 4-element structures from memory and writes the result to the four SIMD&FP registers, with de-interleaving.

For an example of de-interleaving, see LD3 (multiple structures).

Depending on the settings in the CPACR_EL1, CPTR_EL2, and CPTR_EL3 registers, and the current Security state and Exception level, an attempt to execute the instruction might be trapped.

It has encodings from 2 classes: No offset and Post-index

Immediate offset (Rm == 11111)

LD4 { <Vt>.<T>, <Vt2>.<T>, <Vt3>.<T>, <Vt4>.<T> }, [<Xn|SP>], <imm>

Register offset (Rm != 11111)

LD4 { <Vt>.<T>, <Vt2>.<T>, <Vt3>.<T>, <Vt4>.<T> }, [<Xn|SP>], <Xm>

integer t = UInt(Rt); integer n = UInt(Rn); integer m = UInt(Rm); boolean wback = TRUE; boolean tag_checked = wback || n != 31;

Assembler Symbols

<Vt>

Is the name of the first or only SIMD&FP register to be transferred, encoded in the "Rt" field.

<T>

Is an arrangement specifier, encoded in size:Q:

size Q <T>
00 0 8B
00 1 16B
01 0 4H
01 1 8H
10 0 2S
10 1 4S
11 0 RESERVED
11 1 2D
<Vt2>

Is the name of the second SIMD&FP register to be transferred, encoded as "Rt" plus 1 modulo 32.

<Vt3>

Is the name of the third SIMD&FP register to be transferred, encoded as "Rt" plus 2 modulo 32.

<Vt4>

Is the name of the fourth SIMD&FP register to be transferred, encoded as "Rt" plus 3 modulo 32.

<Xn|SP>

Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose base register or stack pointer, encoded in the "Rn" field.

<imm>

Is the post-index immediate offset, encoded in Q:

Q <imm>
0 #32
1 #64
<Xm>

Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose post-index register, excluding XZR, encoded in the "Rm" field.

Shared Decode

Operational information

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