SUB (extended register)

Subtract (extended register) subtracts a sign or zero-extended register value, followed by an optional left shift amount, from a register value, and writes the result to the destination register. The argument that is extended from the <Rm> register can be a byte, halfword, word, or doubleword.

Assembler Symbols

<Wd|WSP>

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

<Wn|WSP>

Is the 32-bit name of the first source general-purpose register or stack pointer, encoded in the "Rn" field.

<Wm>

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

<Xd|SP>

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

<Xn|SP>

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

<R>

Is a width specifier, encoded in option:

option <R>
00x W
010 W
x11 X
10x W
110 W
<m>

Is the number [0-30] of the second general-purpose source register or the name ZR (31), encoded in the "Rm" field.

<extend>

For the 32-bit variant: is the extension to be applied to the second source operand, encoded in option:

option <extend>
000 UXTB
001 UXTH
010 LSL|UXTW
011 UXTX
100 SXTB
101 SXTH
110 SXTW
111 SXTX
If "Rd" or "Rn" is '11111' (WSP) and "option" is '010' then LSL is preferred, but may be omitted when "imm3" is '000'. In all other cases <extend> is required and must be UXTW when "option" is '010'.

For the 64-bit variant: is the extension to be applied to the second source operand, encoded in option:

option <extend>
000 UXTB
001 UXTH
010 UXTW
011 LSL|UXTX
100 SXTB
101 SXTH
110 SXTW
111 SXTX
If "Rd" or "Rn" is '11111' (SP) and "option" is '011' then LSL is preferred, but may be omitted when "imm3" is '000'. In all other cases <extend> is required and must be UXTX when "option" is '011'.
<amount>

Is the left shift amount to be applied after extension in the range 0 to 4, defaulting to 0, encoded in the "imm3" field. It must be absent when <extend> is absent, is required when <extend> is LSL, and is optional when <extend> is present but not LSL.

Operation

bits(datasize) result; bits(datasize) operand1 = if n == 31 then SP[] else X[n]; bits(datasize) operand2 = ExtendReg(m, extend_type, shift); bits(4) nzcv; bit carry_in; if sub_op then operand2 = NOT(operand2); carry_in = '1'; else carry_in = '0'; (result, nzcv) = AddWithCarry(operand1, operand2, carry_in); if setflags then PSTATE.<N,Z,C,V> = nzcv; if d == 31 && !setflags then SP[] = result; else X[d] = result;

Operational information

If PSTATE.DIT is 1:
