- Subject: What da' heck is a "pmove"? (*.spp)
-
- In examining the .spp files preparatory to modifying asmtrans to
- accommodate HSC's assembler JAS, I came across some instructions that
- neither I nor JAS had heard of -- ptestr and fmovem.x, with assorted
- unusual registers like tc and crp. I gather they have to do with the
- MMU and the math coprocessor, neither of which I have (at least, the MMU
- in my MSTe doesn't seem to have registers), and neither of which JAS
- knows what to do with. Are these `030-specific instructions? [and if
- so, why aren't they wrapped in an %ifdef ONLY030?] If not, how should
- I translate them? Just %ifdef them out?
