      [continued from previous message]              "kinda stupid" given it is "very much not a 3R instruction", but, ...).                            At least in most other instructions, the imm/disp bits remain       contiguous. I instead differed by making the Rn/Rd spot be used as a       source register by some instructions (taking on the role of Rt/Rs2), but       IMO this is the lesser of two evils. Would rather have an Rd that is       sometimes a source, than imm/disp fields that change chaotically from       one instruction to another.              ...              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
