XORIW is a 32-bit scalar ALU instruction. It performs bitwise exclusive OR under the low 32-bit word, followed by sign-extension to XLEN result rules; its current instruction contract defines the result publication path and any additional state effect.
Execution snapshots the encoded inputs, then performs bitwise exclusive OR under the low 32-bit word, followed by sign-extension to XLEN result rules, and only afterward performs the destination effects.
RegDst field selects the Reg5 scalar result target or discards the result.SrcL field selects a Reg5 scalar value whose low 32 bits participate.simm12 field carries the signed 12-bit immediate.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.
Every scalar source is snapshotted before the destination effect. The completed value is then routed through RegDst using the current scalar destination map.
This ALU operation has no memory effect. After its successful architectural effects, TPC advances by 4 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.
Fixed-width arithmetic follows the operation’s wraparound rule without an arithmetic exception. A fixed-bit mismatch or unavailable selected T/U source raises Fault_IllegalInstruction before publication and before TPC advances.
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 XORIW example, SrcL=0xc and simm12=0xa produce 0x6.
Bodies come from owning ASL. Dragging or buttons change only this page-session view order.
Decisions: ADR-0026. XORIW MUST snapshot its scalar sources, apply its mnemonic-owned width, immediate, modifier, and wrapping rule, then publish through the assigned destination or commit effect in alias-safe order.
