SUBS

Instruction: Subtract two signed values.

SUBS SValue1, < # > SValue2


Result: Difference of signed SValue1 and signed SValue2 is stored in SValue1.

  • SValue1 (d-field) is the register containing the value to subtract SValue2 from, and is the destination in which to write the result.
  • SValue2 (s-field) is a register or a 9-bit literal whose value is subtracted from SValue1.

Explanation

SUBS subtracts the signed SValue2 from the signed SValue1 and stores the result into the SValue1 register.

If the WZ effect is specified, the Z flag is set (1) if SValue1SValue2 equals zero. If the WC effect is specified, the C flag is set (1) if the subtraction resulted in a signed overflow. The result is written to SValue1 unless the NR effect is specified.

To subtract signed, multi-long values, use SUB, possibly SUBX, and finally SUBSX. See SUBSX for more information.
