    ARM's use of "pseudo instruction" is something which looks like an instruction for assembler purposes, but which cannot be represented as a real machine code instruction.

    The common example from "normal ARM" instructions is the arbitrary load:


    LDR, r0, =0x12345678


    This will compile down to a MOV if the immediate fits in the MOV instruction, or a LDR from literal pool if it doesn't.
