2.6.2 Data Formats
(1) Data formats in registers
The data sizes in the M32R-FPU registers are always words (32 bits).
When loading byte (8-bit) or halfword (16-bit) data from memory into a register, the data is sign-extended
(LDB, LDH instructions) or zero-extended (LDUB, LDUH instructions) to a word (32-bit) quantity before
being loaded in the register.
When storing data from a register into a memory, the 32-bit data, the 16-bit data on the LSB side and the 8-
bit data on the LSB side of the register are stored into memory by the ST, STH and STB instructions,
respectively.
