Allow 8 octets input signed extension function (64bit) #151
base: main
Are you sure you want to change the base?
Conversation
Allow up to 8 input octets for the signed extension function as a consequence of the change to a 64bit architecture. Direct evidence of this requirement in instructions 140 & 141.
Allow `L_Y` to be up to (value) 8 and thus allow the `signed extension`-function up to 8 bytes of input to determine `V_Y`.
In GP-0.5.0-eq:A.20: Allow `L_Y` to be up to (value) 8 and thus allow the `signed extension`-function up to 8 bytes of input to determine `V_Y`. And add mod2^32 to instruction 72.
In GP-0.5.0-eq:A.21: Allow `L_X` to be up to (value) 8 and thus allow the `signed extension`-function up to 8 bytes of input to determine `V_X`.
In GP-0.5.0-eq:A.23: Allow `L_X` to be up to (value) 8 and thus allow the `signed extension`-function up to 8 bytes of input to determine `V_X`. Required for instructions: 126, 127, 132, 133, 137, 138, 139, 140, 141, 142, 144, 145, 146, 147.
The limit of immediates being at most 4 bytes is a deliberate design decision. We don't want 8 byte immediates; it just makes recompilation into native code slower and more complex without any real benefit. |
@koute could you explain instruction 33 (GP-0.5.0) |
8 byte physical (as encoded in the code blob) immediates are not allowed (except the |
