PM0214 Rev 10 153/262
PM0214 The STM32 Cortex-M4 instruction set
261
3.10.3 VCMP, VCMPE
Compares two floating-point registers, or one floating-point register and zero.
Syntax
VCMP{E}{cond}.F32 Sd, Sm
VCMP{E}{cond}.F32 Sd, #0.0
Where:
• ‘cond’ is an optional condition code, see Conditional execution on page 65.
• ‘E’ If present, any NaN operand causes an Invalid Operation exception. Otherwise,
only a signaling NaN causes the exception.
• ‘Sd’ is the floating-point operand to compare.
• ‘Sm’ is the floating-point operand that is compared with
Operation
This instruction:
1. Compares:
Two floating-point registers.
One floating-point register and zero.
1. Writes the result to the FPSCR flags.
Restrictions
This instruction can raise an Invalid Operation exception if either operand is any type of
NaN. It always raises an Invalid
Operation exception if either operand is a signaling NaN.
Condition flags
When this instruction writes the result to the FPSCR flags, the values are normally
transferred to the Arm flags by a subsequent VMRS instruction, see VMRS on page 169.
Examples
VCMP.F32 S4, #0.0
VCMP.F32 S4, S2
