LDARH Load-acquire register halfword This instruction derives an address from a base register value, loads a halfword from memory, zero-extends it, and writes it to a register. The instruction also has memory ordering semantics as described in Load-Acquire, Store-Release. For information about addressing modes, see Load/Store addressing modes. For this instruction, if the destination is WZR/XZR, it is impossible for software to observe the presence of the acquire semantic other than its effect on the arrival at endpoints. If PSTATE.DIT is 1, the timing of this instruction is insensitive to the value of the data being loaded or stored. 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 (1) (1) (1) (1) (1) 1 (1) (1) (1) (1) (1) LDARH <Wt>, [<Xn|SP>{, #0}] constant integer t = UInt(Rt); constant integer n = UInt(Rn); constant boolean tagchecked = n != 31; <Wt> Is the 32-bit name of the general-purpose register to be transferred, encoded in the "Rt" field. <Xn|SP> Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose base register or stack pointer, encoded in the "Rn" field. bits(64) address; constant AccessDescriptor accdesc = CreateAccDescAcqRel(MemOp_LOAD, tagchecked); if n == 31 then CheckSPAlignment(); address = SP[]; else address = X[n, 64]; constant bits(16) data = Mem[address, 2, accdesc]; X[t, 32] = ZeroExtend(data, 32);
