STSMAXB, STSMAXLB

Atomic signed maximum on byte in memory, without return, atomically loads an 8-bit byte from memory, compares it against the value held in a register, and stores the larger value back to memory, treating the values as signed numbers.

For information about memory accesses see Load/Store addressing modes.

This is an alias of LDSMAXB, LDSMAXAB, LDSMAXALB, LDSMAXLB. This means:

No memory ordering (R == 0)

STSMAXB <Ws>, [<Xn|SP>]

is equivalent to

LDSMAXB <Ws>, WZR, [<Xn|SP>]

and is always the preferred disassembly.

Release (R == 1)

STSMAXLB <Ws>, [<Xn|SP>]

is equivalent to

LDSMAXLB <Ws>, WZR, [<Xn|SP>]

and is always the preferred disassembly.

Assembler Symbols

<Ws>

Is the 32-bit name of the general-purpose register holding the data value to be operated on with the contents of the memory location, encoded in the "Rs" field.

<Xn|SP>

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

Operation

The description of LDSMAXB, LDSMAXAB, LDSMAXALB, LDSMAXLB gives the operational pseudocode for this instruction.

Operational information

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