6.49.1 Description

Subtracts one -1- from the contents of register Rd and places the result in the destination register Rd.

The C flag in SREG is not affected by the operation, thus allowing the DEC instruction to be used on a loop counter in multiple-precision computations.

When operating on unsigned values, only BREQ and BRNE branches can be expected to perform consistently. When operating on two’s complement values, all signed branches are available.

Operation:
