Operation:
Destination / Source -->; Destination
Assembler Syntax:
DIVS.W <ea>, Dn 32/16 -->; 16r:16q
DIVS.L <ea>, Dq 32/32 -->; 32q
DIVS.L <ea>, Dr:Dq 64/32 -->; 32r:32q
Attributes: Size = (Word, Long)
Description: Divides the signed destination operand by the
signed source operand and stores the signed result in the
destination. The instruction uses one of three forms. The
word form of the instruction divides a long word by a word.
The result is a quotient in the lower word (least significant
16 bits) and the remainder is in the upper word (most
significant 16 bits) of the resul. The sign of the remainder
is the same as the sign of the dividend.
The first long form divides a long word by a long word. The
result is a long quotient; the remainder is discarded.
The second long form divides a quad word (in any two data
registers) by a long word. The result is a long-word quotient
and a long-word remainder.
Two special condition may arise during the operation:
1. Division by zero causes a trap.
2. Overflow may be detected and set before the inst-
ruction completes. If the instruction detects
an overflow, it sets the overflow condition code
and the operands are unaffected.
Condition Codes:
X Not affected.
N Set if the quotient is negative. Cleared otherwise.
Undefined if overflow or divide by zero occurs.
Z Set if the quotient is zero. Cleared otherwise.
Undefined if overflow or divide by zero occurs.
V Set if the division overflow occurs; undefined if
divide by zero occurs. Cleared otherwise.
C Always cleared.
