Purpose

Logically ORs the upper 16 bits of the contents of a general-purpose register with a 16-bit unsigned integer and stores the result in another general-purpose register.

Syntax

PowerPC
oris RA,RS,UI
POWER
oriu RA,RS,UI

Description

The oris and oriu instructions logically OR the contents of general-purpose register (GPR) RS with the concatenation of a 16-bit unsigned integer, UI, and x'0000' and store the result in GPR RA.

The oris and oriu instructions have one syntax form and do not affect Condition Register Field 0 or the Fixed-Point Exception Register.

Parameters

RA Specifies target general-purpose register where result of operation is stored.
RS Specifies source general-purpose register for operation.
UI Specifies a16-bit unsigned integer for operation.

Examples

The following code ORs the upper 16 bits of the contents of GPR 4 with 0x0079 and stores the result in GPR 6:

# Assume GPR 4 contains 0x9000 3000.
oris 6,4,0x0079
# GPR 6 now contains 0x9079 3000.
