STR (register)

Store Register (register) calculates an address from a base register value and an offset register value, stores a word from a register to memory. The offset register value can optionally be shifted. For information about memory accesses see Memory accesses.

It has encodings from the following instruction sets: A32 ( A1 ) and T32 ( T1 and T2 ) .

Offset (P == 1 && W == 0)

Post-indexed (P == 0 && W == 0)

STR{<c>}{<q>} <Rt>, [<Rn>], {+/-}<Rm>{, <shift>}

Pre-indexed (P == 1 && W == 1)

STR{<c>}{<q>} <Rt>, [<Rn>, {+/-}<Rm>{, <shift>}]!

if P == '0' && W == '1' then SEE "STRT";
t = UInt(Rt);  n = UInt(Rn);  m = UInt(Rm);
index = (P == '1');  add = (U == '1');  wback = (P == '0') || (W == '1');
(shift_t, shift_n) = DecodeImmShift(stype, imm5);
if m == 15 then UNPREDICTABLE;
if wback && (n == 15 || n == t) then UNPREDICTABLE;

CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE behavior

If wback && n == t, then one of the following behaviors must occur:

  • The instruction is undefined.
  • The instruction executes as NOP.
  • The store instruction executes but the value stored is unknown.

If wback && n == 15, 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.

(shift_t, shift_n) = (SRType_LSL, UInt(imm2));
if t == 15 || m == 15 then UNPREDICTABLE; // Armv8-A removes UNPREDICTABLE for R13

CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE behavior

If t == 15, then one of the following behaviors must occur:

  • The instruction is undefined.
  • The instruction executes as NOP.
  • The store instruction performs the store using the specified addressing mode but the value corresponding to R15 is unknown.

Assembler Symbols

<c>

See Standard assembler syntax fields.

<q>

See Standard assembler syntax fields.

<Rt>

For encoding A1: is the general-purpose register to be transferred, encoded in the "Rt" field. The PC can be used, but this is deprecated.

For encoding T1 and T2: is the general-purpose register to be transferred, encoded in the "Rt" field.

<Rn>

For encoding A1: is the general-purpose base register, encoded in the "Rn" field. The PC can be used in the offset variant, but this is deprecated.

For encoding T1 and T2: is the general-purpose base register, encoded in the "Rn" field.

+/- Specifies the index register is added to or subtracted from the base register, defaulting to + if omitted and encoded in U:
U +/-
0 -
1 +
+

Specifies the index register is added to the base register.

<Rm>

Is the general-purpose index register, encoded in the "Rm" field.

<shift>

The shift to apply to the value read from <Rm>. If absent, no shift is applied. Otherwise, see Shifts applied to a register.

<imm>

If present, the size of the left shift to apply to the value from <Rm>, in the range 1-3. <imm> is encoded in imm2. If absent, no shift is specified and imm2 is encoded as 0b00.

Operation

if ConditionPassed() then
    EncodingSpecificOperations();
    offset = Shift(R[m], shift_t, shift_n, PSTATE.C);
    offset_addr = if add then (R[n] + offset) else (R[n] - offset);
    address = if index then offset_addr else R[n];
    if t == 15 then  // Only possible for encoding A1
        data = PCStoreValue();
    else
        data = R[t];
    MemU[address,4] = data;
    if wback then R[n] = offset_addr;

Operational information

If CPSR.DIT is 1, the timing of this instruction is insensitive to the value of the data being loaded or stored.
