fsub

Floating-point Subtract (Single)

FSUB <Sd>, <Sn>, <Sm>

Subtracts two single-precision floating-point registers.

Details

Floating-point subtraction of two single-precision (32-bit) values. Subtracts operand Sm from operand Sn and writes the result to Sd. FPSR exception flags are updated; condition flags (N, Z, C, V) are unaffected. AArch64-only instruction; uses IEEE 754 rounding mode from FPCR.

Pseudocode Operation

operand1 ← Sn (32-bit float)
operand2 ← Sm (32-bit float)
result ← FPSub(operand1, operand2)
Sd ← result
UpdateFPSR(exception_flags)

Example

FSUB s0, s1, s2

Description

Floating-point Subtract (scalar). This instruction subtracts the floating-point value of the second source SIMD&FP register from the floating-point value of the first source SIMD&FP register, and writes the result to the destination SIMD&FP register. This instruction can generate a floating-point exception. Depending on the settings in FPCR, the exception results in either a flag being set in FPSR, or a synchronous exception being generated. For more information, see Floating-point exception traps. Depending on the settings in the CPACR_EL1, CPTR_EL2, and CPTR_EL3 registers, and the current Security state and Exception level, an attempt to execute the instruction might be trapped.

Operation

CheckFPEnabled64();
bits(esize) operand1 = V[n, esize];
bits(esize) operand2 = V[m, esize];

boolean merge = IsMerging(FPCR);
bits(128) result = if merge then V[n, 128] else Zeros(128);

Elem[result, 0, esize] = FPSub(operand1, operand2, FPCR);
V[d, 128] = result;
