Decode (all encodings)

if opc == '11' && sf == '0' then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); end; let d : integer{} = UInt(Rd); let n : integer{} = UInt(Rn); let datasize : integer{} = 32 << UInt(sf); let container_size : integer{} = 8 << UInt(opc);

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.

<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.

Operation

let operand : bits(datasize) = X{}(n); var result : bits(datasize); let containers : integer = datasize DIV container_size; for c = 0 to containers-1 do let container : bits(container_size) = operand[c*:container_size]; result[c*:container_size] = Reverse{container_size}(container, 8); end; X{datasize}(d) = result;

Operational information

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