Negate, setting flags
This instruction negates an optionally-shifted register value, and writes the result to the destination register. It updates the condition flags based on the result.
This is an alias of SUBS (shifted 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 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | shift | 0 | Rm | imm6 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | != 11111 | ||||||||||||||

NEGS <Wd>, <Wm>{, <shift> #<amount>}
is equivalent to
SUBS <Wd>, WZR, <Wm>{, <shift> #<amount>}
and is always the preferred disassembly.
NEGS <Xd>, <Xm>{, <shift> #<amount>}
is equivalent to
SUBS <Xd>, XZR, <Xm>{, <shift> #<amount>}
and is always the preferred disassembly.
| <Wd> |
Is the 32-bit name of the general-purpose destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field. |
| <Wm> |
Is the 32-bit name of the general-purpose source register, encoded in the "Rm" field. |
| <shift> |
Is the optional shift type to be applied to the second source operand, defaulting to LSL and
encoded in
|
| <Xd> |
Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field. |
| <Xm> |
Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose source register, encoded in the "Rm" field. |
