A specific bit pattern can have multiple mnemonics, for example
the bit pattern ‘0xa7000000’ has the mnemonics ‘tmh’ and
‘tmlh’. In addition, there are a number of mnemonics recognized by
as that are not present in the Principles of Operation.
These are the short forms of the branch instructions, where the condition
code mask operand is encoded in the mnemonic. This is relevant for the
branch instructions, the compare and branch instructions, and the
compare and trap instructions.
For the branch instructions there are 20 condition code strings that can be used as part of the mnemonic in place of a mask operand in the instruction format:
instruction | short form |
|---|---|
bcr M1,R2 | b<m>r R2 |
bc M1,D2(X2,B2) | b<m> D2(X2,B2) |
brc M1,I2 | j<m> I2 |
brcl M1,I2 | jg<m> I2 |
In the mnemonic for a branch instruction the condition code string <m> can be any of the following:
o | jump on overflow / if ones |
h | jump on A high |
p | jump on plus |
nle | jump on not low or equal |
l | jump on A low |
m | jump on minus |
nhe | jump on not high or equal |
lh | jump on low or high |
ne | jump on A not equal B |
nz | jump on not zero / if not zeros |
e | jump on A equal B |
z | jump on zero / if zeroes |
nlh | jump on not low or high |
he | jump on high or equal |
nl | jump on A not low |
nm | jump on not minus / if not mixed |
le | jump on low or equal |
nh | jump on A not high |
np | jump on not plus |
no | jump on not overflow / if not ones |
For the compare and branch, and compare and trap instructions there are 12 condition code strings that can be used as part of the mnemonic in place of a mask operand in the instruction format:
instruction | short form |
