This is a collection of Intel®’ IA32® Software Developer's Manuals (URL of the day) and AMD' AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual together with the related specifications, application notes, white papers, and change logs. The collection aims to keep all available revisions. It was originally created by Michal Necasek, see OS/2 Museum.

STLEXH

Store-Release Exclusive Halfword stores a halfword from a register to memory if the executing PE has exclusive access to the memory at that address, and returns a status value of 0 if the store was successful, or of 1 if no store was performed.

The instruction also has memory ordering semantics as described in Load-Acquire, Store-Release.

For more information about support for shared memory see Synchronization and semaphores. For information about memory accesses see Memory accesses.

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

A1

Decode for this encoding

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

CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE behavior

If d == t, then one of the following behaviors must occur:

• The instruction is undefined.
• The instruction executes as NOP.
• The store instruction executes but the value stored is unknown.

If d == n, then one of the following behaviors must occur:

• The instruction is undefined.
• The instruction executes as NOP.
• The instruction performs the store to an UNKNOWN address.

T1

Decode for this encoding

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

CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE behavior

If d == t, then one of the following behaviors must occur:

• The instruction is undefined.
• The instruction executes as NOP.
• The store instruction executes but the value stored is unknown.

If d == n, then one of the following behaviors must occur:

• The instruction is undefined.
• The instruction executes as NOP.
• The instruction performs the store to an UNKNOWN address.

Assembler Symbols

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