Shifts the contents of a general-purpose register to the left by a specified number of bits in an immediate value, and places the rotated contents in the MQ Register and the result in another general-purpose register.
Note: The sliq instruction is supported only in the POWER architecture.
| POWER | |
|---|---|
| sliq | RA,RS,SH |
| sliq. | RA,RS,SH |
The sliq instruction rotates the contents of the source general-purpose register (GPR) RS to the left by N bits, where N is the shift amount specified by SH. The instruction stores the rotated word in the MQ Register and the logical AND of the rotated word and places the generated mask in GPR RA. The mask consists of 32 minus N ones followed by N zeros.
The sliq instruction has two syntax forms. Each syntax form has a different effect on Condition Register Field 0.
| Syntax Form | Overflow Exception (OE) | Fixed-Point Exception Register | Record Bit (Rc) | Condition Register Field 0 |
| sliq | None | None | 0 | None |
| sliq. | None | None | 1 | LT,GT,EQ,SO |
The two syntax forms of the sliq instruction never affect the Fixed-Point Exception Register. If the syntax form sets the Record (Rc) bit to 1, the instruction affects the Less Than (LT) zero, Greater Than (GT) zero, Equal To (EQ) zero, and Summary Overflow (SO) bits in Condition Register Field 0.
| RA | Specifies target general-purpose register where result of operation is stored. |
| RS | Specifies source general-purpose register for operation. |
| SH | Specifies immediate value for shift amount. |
# Assume GPR 4 contains 0x1234 5678. sliq 6,4,0x14 # GPR 6 now contains 0x6780 0000. # MQ Register now contains 0x6781 2345.
