STMDA, STMED
Store Multiple Decrement After (Empty Descending) stores multiple registers to consecutive memory locations using an address from a base register. The consecutive memory locations end at this address, and the address just below the lowest of those locations can optionally be written back to the base register.
The lowest-numbered register is loaded from the lowest memory address, through to the highest-numbered register from the highest memory address. See also Encoding of lists of general-purpose registers and the PC.
Armv8.2 permits the deprecation of some Store Multiple ordering behaviors in AArch32 state, for more information see ARMv8.2-LSMAOC. For details of related system instructions see STM (User registers).

CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE behavior
If BitCount(registers) < 1, then one of the following behaviors must occur:
- The instruction is undefined.
- The instruction executes as NOP.
- The instruction targets an unspecified set of registers. These registers might include R15. If the instruction specifies writeback, the modification to the base address on writeback might differ from the number of registers stored.
If n == 15 && wback, then one of the following behaviors must occur:
- The instruction is undefined.
- The instruction executes as NOP.
- The instruction executes without writeback of the base address.
- The instruction uses the addressing mode described in the equivalent immediate offset instruction.
For more information about the constrained unpredictable behavior of this instruction, see Architectural Constraints on UNPREDICTABLE behaviors.
Assembler Symbols
<c> |
<q> |
<Rn> |
Is the general-purpose base register, encoded in the "Rn" field. |
! |
The address adjusted by the size of the data loaded is written back to the base register. If specified, it is encoded in the "W" field as 1, otherwise this field defaults to 0. |
Operation
if ConditionPassed() then EncodingSpecificOperations(); address = R[n] - 4*BitCount(registers) + 4; for i = 0 to 14 if registers<i> == '1' then if i == n && wback && i != LowestSetBit(registers) then MemA[address,4] = bits(32) UNKNOWN; else MemA[address,4] = R[i]; address = address + 4; if registers<15> == '1' then MemA[address,4] = PCStoreValue(); if wback then R[n] = R[n] - 4*BitCount(registers);
Operational information
If CPSR.DIT is 1, the timing of this instruction is insensitive to the value of the data being loaded or stored.
