I was raised to do single-instruction branches thus:
TM FLAG,BIT Is the flag bit set?
BO *+8 Yes, skip next instruction
L R15,SOMEVAL No, get the value
*+8 DS 0H
Yes, of course I realize that the "DS 0H" is meaningless, but it helps
readability.
My question is whether folks see this as:
- useful
- common
- overly clever
- evil
...or what?
I've often wished for an assembly option that would note "*+n" branches and
warn if they were not skipping one instruction (and doing so *exactly*!).
