Speaking for myself, I would consider it "proper" to align the operands and skip the CS -- the architecture guarantees the behavior, so doing the update with CS seems like overkill. (I'd probably also add a comment in the code for each operand pointing out the reason for the alignment requirement).
If alignment can't be ensured (e.g., you're passed some random address by a caller) then that's a different story. - mb IBM Mainframe Assembler List <ASSEMBLER-LIST@LISTSERV.UGA.EDU> wrote on 01/09/2019 06:17:29 AM: > the load (or store) will always do it on a fullword....BUT to do it > proper would require doing it with a CS.
