|
|
<p>Instruction operands can be grouped into three classes, operands located
|
in registers, immediate operands, and operands in storage.
|
</p>
|
<p>A register operand can be located in general, floating-point, access,
|
or control register. The register is identified by a four-bit field.
|
The field containing the register operand is called the R field.
|
</p>
|
<p>Immediate operands are contained within the instruction and can have
|
8, 16 or 32 bits. The field containing the immediate operand is called
|
the I field. Dependent on the instruction the I field is either signed
|
or unsigned.
|
</p>
|
<p>A storage operand consists of an address and a length. The address of a
|
storage operands can be specified in any of these ways:
|
</p>
|
<ul>
|
<li> The content of a single general R
|
</li><li> The sum of the content of a general register called the base
|
register B plus the content of a displacement field D
|
</li><li> The sum of the contents of two general registers called the
|
index register X and the base register B plus the content of a
|
displacement field
|
</li><li> The sum of the current instruction address and a 32-bit signed
|
immediate field multiplied by two.
|
</li></ul>
|
|
<p>The length of a storage operand can be:
|
</p>
|
<ul>
|
<li> Implied by the instruction
|
</li><li> Specified by a bitmask
|
</li><li> Specified by a four-bit or eight-bit length field L
|
</li><li> Specified by the content of a general register
|
</li></ul>
|
|
<p>The notation for storage operand addresses formed from multiple fields is
|
as follows:
|
</p>
|
<dl compact="compact">
|
<dt><code>Dn(Bn)</code></dt>
|
<dd><p>the address for operand number n is formed from the content of general
|
register Bn called the base register and the displacement field Dn.
|
</p></dd>
|
<dt><code>Dn(Xn,Bn)</code></dt>
|
<dd><p>the address for operand number n is formed from the content of general
|
register Xn called the index register, general register Bn called the
|
base register and the displacement field Dn.
|
</p></dd>
|
<dt><code>Dn(Ln,Bn)</code></dt>
|
<dd><p>the address for operand number n is formed from the content of general
|
register Bn called the base register and the displacement field Dn.
|
The length of the operand n is specified by the field Ln.
|
</p></dd>
|
</dl>
|
|
<p>The base registers Bn and the index registers Xn of a storage operand can
|
be skipped. If Bn and Xn are skipped, a zero will be stored to the operand
|
field. The notation changes as follows:
|
