	ARM Instruction Reference
label	is a program-relative expression. See Register-relative and
	program-relative expressions on page 3-23 for more information. label
	must be within ±255 bytes of the current instruction.
Offset	is an offset applied to the value in Rn (see Offset syntax).

!is an optional suffix. If ! is present, the address including the offset is written back into Rn. You cannot use the ! suffix if Rn is r15.

Zero offset

The value in Rn is used as the address for the transfer.

Pre-indexed offset

The offset is applied to the value in Rn before the transfer takes place. The result is used as the memory address for the transfer. If the ! suffix is used, the result is written back into Rn.

Program-relative

This is an alternative version of the pre-indexed form. The assembler calculates the offset from the PC for you, and generates a pre-indexed instruction with the PC as Rn.

You cannot use the ! suffix.

Post-indexed offset

The value in Rn is used as the memory address for the transfer. The offset is applied to the value in Rn after the transfer takes place. The result is written back into Rn.

Offset syntax

Both pre-indexed and post-indexed offsets can be either of the following:

#expr

{-}Rm

where:

-is an optional minus sign. If - is present, the offset is subtracted from Rn. Otherwise, the offset is added to Rn.

expr	is an expression evaluating to an integer in the range –255 to +255. This
	is often a numeric constant (see examples below).
