Simplified mnemonics for VLE instructions

31/50

A.5

Simplified mnemonics that incorporate the BO32 and BO16

operands

The mnemonics in Table 18 allow common BO32 and BO16 operand encodings to be

specified as part of the mnemonic, along with the set link register bit (LK). There are no

simplified mnemonics for unconditional branches, branch to link register, and branch to

count register. For these, the basic mnemonics e_b, e_bl, se_b, se_bl, se_blr, se_blrl,

se_bctr, and se_bctrl are used.

Table 19 shows the syntax for basic simplified branch mnemonics

The simplified mnemonics in Table 18 that test a condition require a corresponding CR bit

as the first operand (as the examples in Section A.5.1: Examples that eliminate the BO32

and BO16 operands below illustrate). The symbols in Table 17 can be used in place of a

numeric value.

A.5.1

Examples that eliminate the BO32 and BO16 operands

The simplified mnemonics in Table 18 are used in the following examples:

Decrement CTR, branch if CTR

≠ 0(1)

Simplified mnemonics for branch instructions that do not test CR bits should specify only a target.

Otherwise, a programming error may occur.
