ANDS (immediate)

Bitwise AND (immediate), setting flags

This instruction performs a bitwise AND between a register value and an immediate value, and writes the result to the destination register. It updates the condition flags based on the result.

This instruction is used by the alias TST (immediate).

Decode (all encodings)

if sf == '0' && N != '0' then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); end; let d : integer{} = UInt(Rd); let n : integer{} = UInt(Rn); let datasize : integer{} = 32 << UInt(sf); var imm : bits(datasize); (imm, -) = DecodeBitMasks{datasize}(N, imms, immr, TRUE);

Assembler Symbols

<Wd>

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

<Wn>

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

<imm>

Is the bitmask immediate. For encoding information, see Logical (immediate).

<Xd>

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

<Xn>

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

Alias Conditions

AliasIs preferred when
TST (immediate)Rd == '11111'

Operation

let operand1 : bits(datasize) = X{}(n); let operand2 : bits(datasize) = imm; let result : bits(datasize) = operand1 AND operand2; X{datasize}(d) = result; PSTATE.[N,Z,C,V] = result[datasize-1]::IsZeroBit{datasize}(result)::'00';

Operational information

This instruction is a data-independent-time instruction as described in About PSTATE.DIT.
