Simplified Mnemonics for PowerPC Instructions
To provide simplified mnemonics for every possible combination of BO and BI (that is, including
bits that identified the CR field) would require 2
10
= 1024 mnemonics, most of which would be
only marginally useful. The abbreviated set in Section C.4.5, “Simplified Mnemonics that
Incorporate the BO Operand,” covers useful cases. Unusual cases can be coded using a standard
branch conditional syntax.
C.4.4.1.2 The crS Operand
The crS symbols are shown in Table C-9. Note that either the symbol or the operand value can be
used in the syntax used with the simplified mnemonic.
