X5

alias W5architectural number 5

Argument 5

X564-bit view
X only
shared with W5
W532-bit view
bits 31:0 of X5
write

Writing W5 does not simply deposit 32 bits. Bits 63:32 of X5 are reset to zero as a side effect, so a W write always clears the upper half. This is the reason W5 and X5 can never hold unrelated values at the same time.
