- Hello Everyone,
- Are there announced machines (specially micros) with
- some conditional assignment instruction. I mean
- instruction such as the following:
-
- MovCond R1, R2, R3 /* if (c1) R1 <- R2 else R1 <- R3 */
-
- where, c1 refers to some result of some previous compare.
-
- Any pointers to such machines or any quantitative evaluation
- of usefulness of this instruction in the specific context
- of some machine would be appreciated.
-
- Thanks,
- Pradeep
