swc1

Store word from FP register

Writes the 32-bit value in FP register $f1 to memory at address ($t2 + offset).

Forms

  • swc1 , ()

Pseudo-instructions

The assembler turns these into one or more real instructions.

  • Write to label's address, reached through the %hi already in $t2

Store 32-bit value from $f1 to effective memory word address

Operands

$f1
Any floating-point register, $f0 to $f31.
imm16
A signed 16-bit immediate, -32768 to 32767.
$t2
Any general-purpose register, $0 to $31, using its numeric or named spelling, such as $8 or $t0 ($zero is $0; $ra is $31).
label
A named address in the program, such as the start of a loop or a variable in .data.
imm
An immediate value: a signed 16-bit value (-32768 to 32767) or a 32-bit value (-2147483648 to 4294967295). The assembler chooses a supported encoding for the value and other operands; a pseudoinstruction may expand into several instructions.
imm32
A 32-bit immediate, -2147483648 to 4294967295. Pseudoinstruction expansion may overwrite $at, losing its previous value.

Typically used to store a single-precision float to memory. Address must be word-aligned.

.data
value: .float 0.0
source: .float 3.5
.text
# Store 3.5 into value. Inspect memory at value: 3.5 is stored as IEEE-754 raw bits 0x40600000.
