CASD atomically compares the doubleword at SrcL with SrcR; equality stores SrcD, while both paths publish the prior 64-bit value.
The ASL DOC contract selects ScalarHandler_CompareAndSwap with an access width of 8 bytes.
Match and mismatch both emit one ordered atomic event; only the matching path marks a write as performed.
SrcL carries the Reg5 atomic address source; SrcR carries the Reg5 expected doubleword source; SrcD carries the Reg5 desired doubleword source; RegDst carries the Reg5 old-value destination; aq carries the acquire ordering bit; rl carries the release ordering bit.
aq and rl select relaxed, acquire, release, or acquire-release ordering.
After successful preflight, the old value is published even on comparison mismatch; memory changes only on equality.
A completed write invalidates an overlapping local 64-byte-line reservation, preserves a nonoverlapping reservation, and advances TPC by 4 bytes.
The effective address must be aligned to 8 bytes. Alignment, translation, and permission checks precede architectural effects.
A failing preflight publishes no destination, memory event, reservation update, or retirement effect; the saved original TPC supports full reissue.
This example only shows one accepted spelling; the generated contract below remains authoritative.
For a first reading, use casd [SrcL], SrcR, SrcD, ->Rd and then vary only the ordering or route modifiers described above.
Bodies come from owning ASL. Dragging or buttons change only this page-session view order.
