Compare registers and fault if lower
This instruction compares the values in two registers, and generates a Conditional fault exception if the first value is lower than the second. If an exception is generated, the <reason> operand is copied to ESR_ELx.
This instruction does not affect the condition flags.
This is a pseudo-instruction of CFLT<cc> (register). This means:
| 31 | 30 | 29 | 28 | 27 | 26 | 25 | 24 | 23 | 22 | 21 | 20 | 19 | 18 | 17 | 16 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
| sf | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | Rm | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | imm2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Rt | |||||||||
| cc | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| <reason> |
Is a 2-bit unsigned immediate, in the range 0 to 3, encoded in the "imm2" field. |
| <Wm|WSP> |
Is the 32-bit name of the general-purpose register or stack pointer to be tested, encoded in the "Rm" field. |
| <Wt|WSP> |
Is the 32-bit name of the second general-purpose source register or stack pointer, encoded in the "Rt" field. |
| <Xm|SP> |
Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose register or stack pointer to be tested, encoded in the "Rm" field. |
| <Xt|SP> |
Is the 64-bit name of the second general-purpose source register or stack pointer, encoded in the "Rt" field. |
The description of CFLT<cc> (register) gives the operational pseudocode for this instruction.
