NEGS

Negate, setting flags, negates an optionally-shifted register value, and writes the result to the destination register. It updates the condition flags based on the result.

This is an alias of SUBS (shifted register). This means:

313029282726252423222120191817161514131211109876543210
sf1101011shift0Rmimm611111!= 11111
opSRnRd

32-bit (sf == 0)

NEGS <Wd>, <Wm>{, <shift> #<amount>}

is equivalent to

SUBS <Wd>, WZR, <Wm> {, <shift> #<amount>}

and is always the preferred disassembly.

64-bit (sf == 1)

NEGS <Xd>, <Xm>{, <shift> #<amount>}

is equivalent to

SUBS <Xd>, XZR, <Xm> {, <shift> #<amount>}

and is always the preferred disassembly.

Assembler Symbols

<Wd>

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

<Wm>

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

<Xd>

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

<Xm>

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

<shift>

Is the optional shift type to be applied to the second source operand, defaulting to LSL and encoded in shift:

shift <shift>
00 LSL
01 LSR
10 ASR
11 RESERVED
<amount>

For the 32-bit variant: is the shift amount, in the range 0 to 31, defaulting to 0 and encoded in the "imm6" field.

For the 64-bit variant: is the shift amount, in the range 0 to 63, defaulting to 0 and encoded in the "imm6" field.
