6.17 Expansion of inline assembler instructions that use constants
A constant operand specified in an instruction is not limited to the values permitted by the instruction. Instead, the compiler might translate the instruction into a sequence of instructions with the same effect.
For example:
ADD r0,r0,#1023
might be translated into:
ADD r0,r0,#1024 SUB r0,r0,#1
Another example of expansion possibility is:
MOV rn,0x12345678
With the exception of coprocessor instructions, all ARM instructions with a constant
operand support instruction expansion. In addition, the
MUL instruction can
be expanded into a sequence of adds and shifts when the third operand is a constant.The effect of updating the
CPSR by an expanded instruction is:- Arithmetic instructions set the NZCV flags correctly.
- Logical instructions:
- Set the NZ flags correctly.
- Do not change the V flag.
- Corrupt the C flag.
