HL.DIV is a 48-bit scalar ALU instruction. It computes the signed quotient and remainder together from source snapshots; its current instruction contract defines the result publication path and any additional state effect.
Execution snapshots the encoded inputs, then computes the signed quotient and remainder together from source snapshots, and only afterward performs the destination effects.
RegDst0 field selects the quotient Reg5 target or discards the quotient.RegDst1 field selects the remainder Reg5 target or discards the remainder.SrcL field selects the dividend through Reg5.SrcR field selects the divisor through Reg5.These roles come from the current instruction contract. T/U sources are read and snapshotted without being removed from their queues; exact encoded-zero meanings appear in the generated defaults below.
All results are computed before publication. The destinations are then updated in encoded order (RegDst0, RegDst1), which also defines the order of duplicate-register writes or queue pushes.
This ALU operation has no memory effect. After its successful architectural effects, TPC advances by 6 bytes.
The operation does not introduce a hidden scalar publication target or an implicit memory access. Architectural changes remain limited to the state effects enumerated by the current contract.
Zero divisors and signed-minimum divided by negative one use total definitions; both outputs are computed before either destination is written.
The generated legality table is authoritative for assigned field values, reserved encodings, and destination discard codes. Decode and source availability are checked before architectural effects.
This example illustrates the current ASL owner and does not replace the normative operation.
For a small HL.DIV example, dividend 13 and divisor 5 produce quotient 2 and remainder 3 in destination order.
Bodies come from owning ASL. Dragging or buttons change only this page-session view order.
HL.DIV MUST implement the mnemonic-local canonical assembly, encoded legality, defaults, state and memory effects, ordering, and fault boundaries declared in this owner. The operation region below is the executable binding for every accepted decision that names this mnemonic.
