(Note 2 admonishes one to avoid mixing PLO with Compare & Swap instructions for the same data structures, since they use incompatible mechanisms. Note 4 indicates that CSST may or may not be implemented in hardware, depending upon the specific machine implementation.)
Programming Note 5 suggests a reluctance on the part of the architecture team to even add the instruction apart from PLO. -- Tom Schmidt Madison, WI ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
