QDADD -- AArch32

QDADD

Saturating Double and Add adds a doubled register value to another register value, and writes the result to the destination register. Both the doubling and the addition have their results saturated to the 32-bit signed integer range -231 <= x <= 231 - 1. If saturation occurs in either operation, it sets PSTATE.Q to 1.

It has encodings from the following instruction sets: A32 ( A1 ) and T32 ( T1 ) .

Encoding

QDADD{<c>}{<q>} {<Rd>, }<Rm>, <Rn>

Decode for this encoding

let d : integer = UInt(Rd); let n : integer = UInt(Rn); let m : integer = UInt(Rm); if d == 15 || n == 15 || m == 15 then UnpredictableProcedure(); end;

Encoding

QDADD{<c>}{<q>} {<Rd>, }<Rm>, <Rn>

Decode for this encoding

let d : integer = UInt(Rd); let n : integer = UInt(Rn); let m : integer = UInt(Rm); // Armv8-A removes UNPREDICTABLE for R13 if d == 15 || n == 15 || m == 15 then UnpredictableProcedure(); end;

For more information about the CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE behavior of this instruction, see Architectural Constraints on UNPREDICTABLE behaviors.

Assembler Symbols

<c>

See Standard assembler syntax fields.

<q>

See Standard assembler syntax fields.

<Rd>

Is the general-purpose destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.

<Rm>

Is the first general-purpose source register, encoded in the "Rm" field.

<Rn>

Is the second general-purpose source register, encoded in the "Rn" field.

Operation

if ConditionPassed() then EncodingSpecificOperations(); let (doubled, sat1) : (bits(32), boolean) = SignedSatQ{32}(2 * SInt(R(n))); let (r, sat2) : (bits(32), boolean) = SignedSatQ{32}(SInt(R(m)) + SInt(doubled)); R(d) = r; if sat1 || sat2 then PSTATE.Q = '1'; end; end;
