assembly - Why might one use the xzr register instead of the …
2017年3月15日 · What xzr gives us, however - in addition to a dummy register as per @InfinitelyManic's answer - is access to a zero-valued operand without having to load and occupy a real register. This has the dual benefit of one less instruction, and …
In ARM64 assembly code, when is register 31 XZR versus SP?
2020年4月30日 · The ARM Reference manual writes Xn when XZR can be used and Xn|SP when SP can be used. See the introduction to §5 “A64 INSTRUCTION SET.” Some mnemonics have multiple forms such that both a form with an Xn operand and one with an Xn|SP operand are available. The assembler should pick the right one as needed. –
Different encoding for arm64 "add x1, sp, x2, lsl #1" than with xzr
When XZR is used, the field says something like <Xn> and the text just says “general-purpose register.” You need to know which instruction you are decoding to know whether to decode XZR or SP. And note that there are some times multiple instructions sharing the same mnemonic.
Is Zero Register 'zr' in aarch64 essentially ground?
2018年9月20日 · The zero register xzr resp. wzr is a cute design trick in the Aarch64 ISA. It's register number is 31, just as the stack pointer sp resp. wsp. Depending on the context, register number 31 refers to one of them. This cute trick allows the Aarch64 ISA to …
Single instruction for clearing the Z flag on ARM64?
2023年4月3日 · The tricky thing here is ARM64's encoding convention that "register 31" is XZR in some instruction and SP in others, chosen according to which they thought would be more useful for that particular instruction. Unfortunately it seems like the usual flag-setting instructions made the choice that doesn't work for us. –
arm - What's the difference between MOV, MOVZ, MOVN and …
2018年11月12日 · XZR is the zero register and its value is always zero. The XZR and the SP share are identified by the same number (31), that is why an ORR instruction cannot be used when the SP is the destination or an operand. Instead the ADD instruction is used. MOVZ and MOVK. These two instructions are sometimes used one after the other.
operand must be an int register in armv8 - Stack Overflow
2022年12月9日 · add-immediate with xzr is impossible, since the same syntax compilers use for adding 1 (add reg, reg, #1) doesn't assemble if XZR is the source register. For some instructions, like add-immediate, that register number is the stack pointer, not the zero register, so xzr isn't encodeable. That makes sense; there are instructions that can get a ...
Which processor part does a MOV instruction in armv8 use
2019年12月3日 · XZR is an alias for a register that always returns 0 and can't be changed to anything but 0. It's new in AArch64, but other RISCs like MIPS have always had a zero register. It's new in AArch64, but other RISCs like MIPS have always had a zero register.

2015年4月20日 · By the way, yes, cmp is an alias for subs xzr; I chose the latter here just to make it more symmetric with the sbcs xzr which doesn't have an alias. – Nate Eldredge Commented Mar 28, 2022 at 3:48
