xoris or xoriu (XOR Immediate Shift) Instruction

Purpose

XORs the upper 16 bits of a general-purpose register with a 16-bit unsigned integer and places the result in another general-purpose register.

Syntax

PowerPC
xoris RA,RS,UI
POWER
xoriu RA,RS,UI

Description

The xoris and xoriu instructions XOR the contents of general-purpose register (GPR) RS with the concatenation of a 16-bit unsigned integer UI and 0x'0000' and store the result in GPR RA.

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

Parameters

RA Specifies target general-purpose register where result of operation is stored.
RS Specifies source general-purpose register for operation.
UI Specifies 16-bit unsigned integer for operation.

Example

The following code XORs GPR 4 with 0x0079 0000 and stores the result in GPR 6:

# Assume GPR 4 holds 0x9000 3000.
xoris 6,4,0x0079
# GPR 6 now holds 0x9079 3000.
