STSMAX, STSMAXL

Atomic signed maximum on word or doubleword in memory, without return, atomically loads a 32-bit word or 64-bit doubleword from memory, compares it against the value held in a register, and stores the larger value back to memory, treating the values as signed numbers.

For information about memory accesses see Load/Store addressing modes.

This is an alias of LDSMAX, LDSMAXA, LDSMAXAL, LDSMAXL. This means:

Integer

32-bit LDSMAX alias (size == 10 && R == 0)

STSMAX <Ws>, [<Xn|SP>]

is equivalent to

LDSMAX <Ws>, WZR, [<Xn|SP>]

and is always the preferred disassembly.

32-bit LDSMAXL alias (size == 10 && R == 1)

STSMAXL <Ws>, [<Xn|SP>]

is equivalent to

LDSMAXL <Ws>, WZR, [<Xn|SP>]

and is always the preferred disassembly.

64-bit LDSMAX alias (size == 11 && R == 0)

STSMAX <Xs>, [<Xn|SP>]

is equivalent to

LDSMAX <Xs>, XZR, [<Xn|SP>]

and is always the preferred disassembly.

64-bit LDSMAXL alias (size == 11 && R == 1)

STSMAXL <Xs>, [<Xn|SP>]

is equivalent to

LDSMAXL <Xs>, XZR, [<Xn|SP>]

and is always the preferred disassembly.

Assembler Symbols

<Ws>

Is the 32-bit name of the general-purpose register holding the data value to be operated on with the contents of the memory location, encoded in the "Rs" field.

<Xs>

Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose register holding the data value to be operated on with the contents of the memory location, encoded in the "Rs" field.

<Xn|SP>

Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose base register or stack pointer, encoded in the "Rn" field.

Operation
