Load Sign Extended Longword (ldl)

Syntax

ldl $d_reg, address

Description

Load Sign Extended Longword loads the four least significant bytes of the destination register with the contents of the longword specified by the effective address. Because the loaded longword is a signed value, its sign bit is replicated to fill the other bytes in the destination register.

If the effective address is not evenly divisible by 4, a data alignment exception is signaled.
