CFLT<cc> (register)

Compare registers and fault

This instruction compares the values in two registers, and generates a Conditional fault exception if the condition is true. This instruction does not affect the condition flags.

This instruction is used by the pseudo-instructions CFLTLE (register), CFLTLO (register), CFLTLS (register), and CFLTLT (register).

Assembler Symbols

<reason>

Is a 2-bit unsigned immediate, in the range 0 to 3, encoded in the "imm2" field.

<Wt|WSP>

Is the 32-bit name of the general-purpose register or stack pointer to be tested, encoded in the "Rt" field.

<Wm|WSP>

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

<Xt|SP>

Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose register or stack pointer to be tested, encoded in the "Rt" field.

<Xm|SP>

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

Operation

CheckCFLTEnabled(); let operand1 : bits(datasize) = if t == 31 then SP{datasize}() else X{datasize}(t); let operand2 : bits(datasize) = if m == 31 then SP{datasize}() else X{datasize}(m); var cond : boolean; let value1 : integer = if unsigned then UInt(operand1) else SInt(operand1); let value2 : integer = if unsigned then UInt(operand2) else SInt(operand2); case cmp of when Cmp_EQ => cond = value1 == value2; when Cmp_NE => cond = value1 != value2; when Cmp_GT => cond = value1 > value2; when Cmp_GE => cond = value1 >= value2; end; if cond then let isflt : boolean = FALSE; AArch64_ConditionalFault(isflt, reason); end;
