MOVK -- A64

MOVK

Move wide with keep

This instruction moves an optionally-shifted 16-bit immediate value into a register, keeping other bits unchanged.

Encoding for the 32-bit variant

Applies when (sf == 0 && hw == 0x)

MOVK <Wd>, #<imm>{, LSL #<shift>}

Encoding for the 64-bit variant

Applies when (sf == 1)

MOVK <Xd>, #<imm>{, LSL #<shift>}

Decode for all variants of this encoding

if sf == '0' && hw[1] == '1' then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); end; let d : integer = UInt(Rd); let datasize : integer{} = 32 << UInt(sf); let imm : bits(16) = imm16; let pos : integer{} = UInt(hw) << 4;

Assembler Symbols

<Wd>

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

<imm>

Is the 16-bit unsigned immediate, in the range 0 to 65535, encoded in the "imm16" field.

<shift>

For the "32-bit" variant: is the amount by which to shift the immediate left, either 0 (the default) or 16, encoded in the "hw" field as <shift>/16.

For the "64-bit" variant: is the amount by which to shift the immediate left, either 0 (the default), 16, 32 or 48, encoded in the "hw" field as <shift>/16.

<Xd>

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