Load LOAcquire Register Halfword loads a halfword from memory, zero-extends it, and writes it to a register. The instruction also has memory ordering semantics as described in Load LOAcquire, Store LORelease. For information about addressing modes, see Load/Store addressing modes.
For this instruction, if the destination is WZR/XZR, it is impossible for software to observe the presence of the acquire semantic other than its effect on the arrival at endpoints.

| <Wt> |
Is the 32-bit name of the general-purpose register to be transferred, encoded in the "Rt" field. |
| <Xn|SP> |
Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose base register or stack pointer, encoded in the "Rn" field. |
bits(64) address; AccessDescriptor accdesc = CreateAccDescLOR(MemOp_LOAD, tagchecked); if n == 31 then CheckSPAlignment(); address = SP[]; else address = X[n, 64]; bits(16) data = Mem[address, 2, accdesc]; X[t, 32] = ZeroExtend(data, 32);
If PSTATE.DIT is 1, the timing of this instruction is insensitive to the value of the data being loaded or stored.
