STUMAXB, STUMAXLB

Atomic unsigned maximum on byte in memory, without return, atomically loads an 8-bit byte from memory, compares it against the value held in a register, and stores the larger value back to memory, treating the values as unsigned numbers.

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

This is an alias of LDUMAXB, LDUMAXAB, LDUMAXALB, LDUMAXLB. This means:

Integer
(ARMv8.1)

No memory ordering (R == 0)

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

is equivalent to

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

and is always the preferred disassembly.

Release (R == 1)

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

is equivalent to

LDUMAXLB <Ws>, WZR, [<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.

<Xn|SP>

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

Operation

The description of LDUMAXB, LDUMAXAB, LDUMAXALB, LDUMAXLB gives the operational pseudocode for this instruction.
