Read all pins in 1 port simultaneously

I wonder how to read all port simultaneously such as GPIOA0 up to GPIOA7

or the equivalent of arduino codes DDRA = B00000000;   // sets Arduino Mega Digital pins 22(PORTA0) to 29(PORTA7) as inputs allBus = PINA; //read all PIN bit state #ports #pins

GPIOA->MODER = 0;

allbus = GPIOA->IDR; JW

I think you are confusing pins  with ports?

As described, you can read all the pins  of a port simultaneously; but you can't read multiple ports  simultaneously.

Yes, you are correct I mean all pins in one port, problem solved.
