Re: How to implement branches?

[Andrew Pinski <pinskia at physics dot uc dot edu>]

It is close but rs6000 (PowerPC) has a compare instruction, not an 
`equal to' instruction.
I think the way to have (set (reg 12) (eq (reg 10) (reg 11)) be `equal 
r10, r11, r12' and then have
(set (pc) (if_then_else (eq (reg 12) (const_int 1)) (label_reg (label)) 
(pc))) be `branch_if_true r12, label'
and  (set (pc) (if_then_else (eq (reg 12) (const_int 0)) (label_reg 
(label)) (pc))) be `branch_if_false r12, label'


Thanks,
Andrew Pinski
