RISC-V AMOSWAP.D Instruction Details

Instruction ManualR-type

Atomically swap 64-bit doubleword: rd = *rs1, *rs1 = rs2 (RV64 only)

Instruction Syntax

amoswap.d rd, rs2, (rs1)
Operand Breakdown
Destination rd: register receiving the operation result.
Source rs1: register holding the first operand.
Source rs2: register holding the second operand.
AZaamoAtomic Operation

Instruction Behavior

AMOSWAP.D atomically loads the 64-bit doubleword from the address in rs1 into rd, then stores rs2 to the same address. This is an RV64A instruction. Supports aq/rl bits for memory ordering.

Common Usage Scenarios

Address & Pointer

Understand this scenario with real code like «amoswap.d.aq t0, t1, (a0) # atomic swap 64-bit *a0 with t1».

Atomic & Sync

Understand this scenario with real code like «amoswap.d.aq t0, t1, (a0) # atomic swap 64-bit *a0 with t1».

Pre-Use Checklist

Syntax Check
  • Confirm the current instruction format is R-type.
  • Confirm the operand order matches the example.
Semantic Check
  • Ensure the destination register usage is compatible with the calling convention.
  • Confirm this is not the lower-level form of a pseudo-instruction expansion.

Pitfalls / Common Confusions
