LDR (predicate)

Load predicate register

Load a predicate register from a memory address generated by a 64-bit scalar base, plus an immediate offset in the range -256 to 255 which is multiplied by the current predicate register size in bytes. This instruction is unpredicated.

The load is performed as a stream of bytes containing 8 consecutive predicate bits in ascending element order, without any endian conversion.

LDR <Pt>, [<Xn|SP>{, #<imm>, MUL VL}]

if !HaveSVE() && !HaveSME() then UNDEFINED; integer t = UInt(Pt); integer n = UInt(Rn); integer imm = SInt(imm9h:imm9l);

Assembler Symbols

<Pt>

Is the name of the destination scalable predicate register, encoded in the "Pt" field.

<Xn|SP>

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

<imm>

Is the optional signed immediate vector offset, in the range -256 to 255, defaulting to 0, encoded in the "imm9h:imm9l" fields.

Operation

CheckSVEEnabled(); integer elements = PL DIV 8; bits(64) base; integer offset = imm * elements; bits(PL) result; if n == 31 then CheckSPAlignment(); if HaveMTEExt() then SetTagCheckedInstruction(FALSE); base = SP[]; else if HaveMTEExt() then SetTagCheckedInstruction(TRUE); base = X[n]; boolean aligned = AArch64.CheckAlignment(base + offset, 2, AccType_NORMAL, FALSE); for e = 0 to elements-1 Elem[result, e, 8] = AArch64.MemSingle[base + offset, 1, AccType_NORMAL, aligned]; offset = offset + 1; P[t] = result;
