Well, that sucks.  What do you suggest for Coldfire?

Can you just do a 32bit xor ?
Unless you've got smp m68k I'd presume it is ok?
(And assuming you aren't falling off a page.)

Patch welcome.

My 68020 book seems to be at work and I'm at home.
(The 286, 386 and cy7c600 (sparc 32) books don't help).

But if the code is trying to do *ptr ^= 0x80 and check the
sign flag then you just need to use eor.l with 0x80000000
on the same address.

I have a 68020 book; what I don't have is a Coldfire manual.

You can find it here: https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/reference-manual/CFPRM.pdf

Anyway, that's not the brief.  We're looking to (eg) clear bit 0
and test whether bit 7 was set.  So it's the sign bit of the byte,
not the sign bit of the int.
