-
if omitted, no shift occurs, equivalent to LSL #0.
If the user omits the shift, or specifies LSL #0, the instruction uses the value in 
Rm
.
If the user specifies a shift, the shift is applied to the value in 
Rm
, and the resulting 32-bit value is used by the instruction.
However, the contents in the register 
Rm
 remains unchanged. Specifying a register with shift also updates the carry flag
when used with certain instructions. For information on the shift operations and how they affect the carry flag, see
“Flexible Second Operand”
12.6.3.4 Shift Operations
Register shift operations move the bits in a register left or right by a specified number of bits, the 
shift length
. Register
shift can be performed:
Directly by the instructions ASR, LSR, LSL, ROR, and RRX, and the result is written to a destination register.
During the calculation of 
Operand2
 by the instructions that specify the second operand as a register with shift. See
“Flexible Second Operand”
. The result is used by the instruction.
The permitted shift lengths depend on the shift type and the instruction. If the shift length is 0, no shift occurs. Register
shift operations update the carry flag except when the specified shift length is 0. The following subsections describe the
various shift operations and how they affect the carry flag. In these descriptions, 
Rm
 is the register containing the value
to be shifted, and 
n
 is the shift length.
ASR
Arithmetic shift right by 
n
 bits moves the left-hand 32-n bits of the register, 
Rm
, to the right by 
n
 places, into the right-hand
32-n bits of the result. And it copies the original bit[31] of the register into the left-hand 
n
 bits of the result. See 
Figure 12-
8
.
The ASR #n operation can be used to divide the value in the register Rm
by 2
n
, with the result being rounded towards
negative-infinity.
When the instruction is ASRS or when ASR #n is used in 
Operand2
 with the instructions MOVS, MVNS, ANDS, ORRS,
ORNS, EORS, BICS, TEQ or TST, the carry flag is updated to the last bit shifted out, bit[
n
-1], of the register 
Rm
.
If 
n
 is 32 or more, then all the bits in the result are set to the value of bit[31] of 
Rm
.
If 
n
 is 32 or more and the carry flag is updated, it is updated to the value of bit[31] of 
Rm
.
Figure 12-8. 
ASR #3
LSR
Logical shift right by n bits moves the left-hand 32-n bits of the register Rm, to the right by
 n 
places, into the right-hand
32-n bits of the result. And it sets the left-hand n bits of the result to 0. See 
Figure 12-9
.
The LSR #n operation can be used to divide the value in the register Rm by 2
n
, if the value is regarded as an unsigned
integer.
When the instruction is LSRS or when LSR #n is used in 
Operand2
 with the instructions MOVS, MVNS, ANDS, ORRS,
ORNS, EORS, BICS, TEQ or TST, the carry flag is updated to the last bit shifted out, bit[n-1], of the register Rm.
If 
n
 is 32 or more, then all the bits in the result are cleared to 0. 
If 
n
 is 33 or more and the carry flag is updated, it is updated to 0.
