Subject: Sign extension ISA question
Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2024 12:55:44 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <08ab01da48be$603541a0$209fc4e0$@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <085f01da48bb$fe0c3cb0$fa24b610$@gmail.com>

(Resending since a spam filter seems to have blocked the first attempt.)

Is there any semantic difference between the following two instructions?

{.opcode = BPF_ALU64 | BPF_MOV | BPF_K, .offset = 0, .imm = -1}

{.opcode = BPF_ALU64 | BPF_MOVSX | BPF_K, .offset = 32, .imm = -1}

From my reading both of them treat imm as a signed 32-bit number and
sign-extend it to 64 bits.
