Data is pushed onto the stack by incrementing SP by one then writing the item at the new stack location SP.
An item is pulled off the stack by copying it from location SP and then decrementing SP by one. Move in-
structions that read the SSH implicitly decrement the SP, and move instructions that write the SSH implicitly
increment the SP. This facilitates managing the stack under software control. Since each location that the
stack points to is 64 bits wide, it must be accessed by two move instructions. The first move should be to/
from the SSL and then the second move should be to/from the SSH to automatically trigger a SP increment/
decrement.
4.11.2
Stack Error flag (SE) Bit 4
The Stack Error flag (SE) indicates that a stack error has occurred. The transition of SE from 0 to 1 causes
the priority level 3 Stack Error exception (see Section 8).
When the stack is completely full, the Stack Pointer reads 001111, and any operation that pushes data to
the stack will cause a stack error exception to occur and the stack register will read 010000 (or 010001 if
an implied double push occurs).
Any implied pull operation with SP=0 will cause a Stack Error exception (see Section 8), and the SP will
read all ones (or 111110 if an implied double pull occurs). As shown in Figure 4-5, the SE bit is set.
Once set, the SE flag remains so until a move or bit instruction that directly references the Stack Pointer
explicitly clears the SE flag. The SE flag is also cleared by hardware reset. When SP=0 (stack empty), no
stack level is selected. Instructions which read the stack without SP post-decrement (REP SSL, MOVEC
when SSL is specified as source, etc.) do not cause a stack error exception and the data read will be inde-
terminate. Instructions which write the stack without SP pre-increment (MOVEC when SSL is specified as
destination, etc.) do not cause a stack error exception and no stack registers are altered.
