Yes, specifically a relative near jmp. > and bl is similar to the call in x86 ? Sort of (and again, specifically a relative near call). Call on x86 pushes the return address on the stack, while bl on powerpc puts the return address in a special register (lr) that the called function has to save on the stack itself if it wants to call another function. -Scott _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
