ST2 (single structure)

Store single 2-element structure from one lane of two registers. This instruction stores a 2-element structure to memory from corresponding elements of two SIMD&FP registers.

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

Assembler Symbols

<Vt>

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

<Vt2>

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

<index>

For the 8-bit variant: is the element index, encoded in "Q:S:size".

For the 16-bit variant: is the element index, encoded in "Q:S:size<1>".

For the 32-bit variant: is the element index, encoded in "Q:S".

For the 64-bit variant: is the element index, encoded in "Q".

<Xn|SP>

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

<Xm>

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

Operational information

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