ARM DUI 0068B
Note
All values are treated as two’s complement signed integers by these instructions.
Condition flags
These instructions do not affect the N, Z, C, and V flags. If saturation occurs, they set
the Q flag. To read the state of the Q flag, use an
MRS
instruction (see MRS on page 4-73).
Note
These instructions never clear the Q flag, even if saturation does not occur. To clear the
Q flag, use an
MSR
instruction (see MSR on page 4-74).
Architectures
These instructions are available in E variants of ARM architecture v5 and above.
