INSTRUCTION SET
THE CONDITION FIELD
In ARM state, all instructions are conditionally executed according to the state of the CPSR condition codes and
the instruction s condition field. This field (bits 31:28) determines the circumstances under which an instruction is
to be executed. If the state of the C, N, Z and V flags fulfils the conditions encoded by the field, the instruction is
executed, otherwise it is ignored.
There are sixteen possible conditions, each represented by a two-character suffix that can be appended to the
instruction s mnemonic. For example, a branch (B in assembly language) becomes BEQ for "Branch if "Equal",
which means the branch will only be taken if the Z flag is set.
In practice, fifteen different conditions may be used: these are listed in Table 3-2. The sixteenth (1111) is
reserved, and must not be used.
In the absence of a suffix, the condition field of most instructions is set to “Always" (suffix AL). This means the
instruction will always be executed regardless of the CPSR condition codes.
