5.2.1
Data Movement
These instructions are used to:
•
move data from memory to global and local registers
•
from global and local registers to memory
•
between local and global registers
Rules for register alignment must be followed when using load, store and move instructions that
move 8, 12 or 16 bytes at a time. See
section 3.5, “MEMORY ADDRESS SPACE” (pg. 3-13)
for
alignment requirements for code portability across implementations.
5.2.1.1
Load and Store Instructions
Load instructions copy data from memory to local or global registers. Each load instruction has a
corresponding store instruction to memory. All load and store instructions use the MEM format.
ld
copies 4 bytes from memory into a register;
ldl
copies 8 bytes into 2 successive registers;
ldt
copies 12 bytes into 3 successive registers;
ldq
copies 16 bytes into 4 successive registers.
st
copies 4 bytes from a register into memory;
stl
copies 8 bytes from 2 successive registers;
stt
copies 12 bytes from 3 successive registers;
stq
copies 16 bytes from 4 successive registers.
For
ld
,
ldob
,
ldos
,
ldib
and
ldis
, the instruction specifies a memory address and register; the
memory address value is copied into the register. The processor automatically extends byte and
short (half-word) operands to 32 bits according to data type. Ordinals are zero-extended; integers
are sign-extended.
ld
load word
st
store word
ldob
load ordinal byte
stob
store ordinal byte
ldos
load ordinal short
stos
store ordinal short
ldib
load integer byte
stib
store integer byte
ldis
load integer short
stis
store integer short
ldl
load long
stl
store long
ldt
load triple
stt
store triple
ldq
load quad
stq
store quad
