Description

Store-Release Exclusive Word stores a word from a register to memory if the executing PE has exclusive access to the memory at that address, and returns a status value of 0 if the store was successful, or of 1 if no store was performed. The instruction also has memory ordering semantics as described in Load-Acquire, Store-Release. For more information about support for shared memory see Synchronization and semaphores. For information about memory accesses see Memory accesses.

Operation

if ConditionPassed() then
    EncodingSpecificOperations();
    address = R[n];
    if AArch32.ExclusiveMonitorsPass(address,4) then
        MemO[address, 4] = R[t];
        R[d] = ZeroExtend('0', 32);
    else
        R[d] = ZeroExtend('1', 32);
