Description

Memory Set. These instructions perform a memory set using the value in the bottom byte of the source register. The prologue, main, and epilogue instructions are expected to be run in succession and to appear consecutively in memory: SETP, then SETM, and then SETE. SETP performs some preconditioning of the arguments suitable for using the SETM instruction, and performs an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED amount of the memory set. SETM performs an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED amount of the memory set. SETE performs the last part of the memory set. The architecture supports two algorithms for the memory set: option A and option B. Which algorithm is used is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED. After execution of SETP, option A (which results in encoding PSTATE.C = 0): After execution of SETP, option B (which results in encoding PSTATE.C = 1): For SETM, option A (encoded by PSTATE.C = 0), the format of the arguments is: For SETM, option B (encoded by PSTATE.C = 1), the format of the arguments is: For SETE, option A (encoded by PSTATE.C = 0), the format of the arguments is: For SETE, option B (encoded by PSTATE.C = 1), the format of the arguments is:
