The
Bcpl
construct
"if
a gr b then
.....
uses
code
which
does a subtract
and
checks the sign.
Unfortunately, this
is
not a true signed compare because the subtract may overflow. With this
code,
2 gr 0
is
true, but
077777B
gr
100000B
is
false
(077777B
is
the largest positive number and
100000B
the largest negative). The code generated
by
Bcpl looks like:

Opcodes in the range
60000B-77777B,
are assigned to the s-group, which comprises a variety
of
miscellaneous instructions and unimplemented operations.
Bits
3 through 7
of
the instruction determine
32
opcodes, each
of
which may use the displacement field (bits
8-15
of
the instruction). One
of
these
opcodes
(61xxx,
O<xxx::S;377B)
uses the displacement field
to
represent up to
256
instructions which do
not require a displacement or a parameter
as
part
of
the opcode.
