I try to understand...

Reading the Instruction set of the P2 i have found something i can't find any documentation about

EEEE 0100000 CZI DDDDDDDDD SSSSSSSSS TESTB D,S/# WC/WZ
EEEE 0100001 CZI DDDDDDDDD SSSSSSSSS TESTBN D,S/# WC/WZ
EEEE 0100010 CZI DDDDDDDDD SSSSSSSSS TESTB D,S/# ANDC/ANDZ
EEEE 0100011 CZI DDDDDDDDD SSSSSSSSS TESTBN D,S/# ANDC/ANDZ
EEEE 0100100 CZI DDDDDDDDD SSSSSSSSS TESTB D,S/# ORC/ORZ
EEEE 0100101 CZI DDDDDDDDD SSSSSSSSS TESTBN D,S/# ORC/ORZ
EEEE 0100110 CZI DDDDDDDDD SSSSSSSSS TESTB D,S/# XORC/XORZ
EEEE 0100111 CZI DDDDDDDDD SSSSSSSSS TESTBN D,S/# XORC/XORZ

So, if i write TESTB or TESTBN, how does the compiler determine which to use?

EEEE 1101011 CZL DDDDDDDDD 001000000 TESTP D/# WC/WZ
EEEE 1101011 CZL DDDDDDDDD 001000001 TESTPN D/# WC/WZ
EEEE 1101011 CZL DDDDDDDDD 001000010 TESTP D/# ANDC/ANDZ
EEEE 1101011 CZL DDDDDDDDD 001000011 TESTPN D/# ANDC/ANDZ
EEEE 1101011 CZL DDDDDDDDD 001000100 TESTP D/# ORC/ORZ
EEEE 1101011 CZL DDDDDDDDD 001000101 TESTPN D/# ORC/ORZ
EEEE 1101011 CZL DDDDDDDDD 001000110 TESTP D/# XORC/XORZ
EEEE 1101011 CZL DDDDDDDDD 001000111 TESTPN D/# XORC/XORZ
  • shouldn't WC/WZ be written as {WC/WZ}?
  • How does the compiler determine how to encode the instruction?

Do i have to write something special behind the instruction to tell if i want AND OR, XOR?

Does it work like wc wz wcz behind the instruction?

    Yes, for those instructions, the WC/ANDC/ORC/XORC encodings are all the same "C" bit (#20) and WZ/ANDZ/ORZ/XORZ are all the same "Z" bit (#19).

    The reason why there is no {} braces is because it is mandatory to use exactly one option. Most instructions it is optional to use any.

    TESTBx and BITx share the same opcodes, except for C & Z bits. Similarly for TESTPx and DIRx.

    TESTBx  D,S/#   WC/ANDC/ORC/XORC    'CZ=10
TESTBx  D,S/#   WZ/ANDZ/ORZ/XORZ    'CZ=01
BITx    D,S/#                       'CZ=00
BITx    D,S/#   WCZ                 'CZ=11

    Ahh,

    Thank you for enlighten me :smiley:

    EEEE 1101011 00L DDDDDDDDD 001000011 DIRNC D/# {WCZ}

    hmm i think there should not be a {WCZ}

    EEEE 1101011 11L DDDDDDDDD 001000011 DIRNC D/# {WCZ}

    and here it should say WCZ not {WCZ}

    right?

    Correct. Oz missed a couple.
