ou can see that the `nop,endwhere` and the `iadd ...` insns are inverted. I think this is similar to having instructions for enabling and disabling interrupts: the instructions have no operands, but the compiler shouldn't move the block in between them for optimization. Thank you, and please,

Dedicated logical instructions

2010-11-08 Thread Radu Hobincu
Hello again, I have another, quick question: I have dedicated logical instructions in my RISC machine (lt - less than, gt - greater than, ult - unsigned less than, etc.). I'm also working on adding instructions for logical OR, AND, NOT, XOR. While reading GCC internals, I've stumbled on this: "Ex

Hello again, I managed to get the thing working and I have two last issues to solve. 1. My machine does not have any kind of floating point instructions. When I write in the C source code float f = 0.5f; The compiler crashes with "Segmentation fault". Running a gdb on it, the output becomes Pr
