Yes. This is the 'L' field in the procedure label layout. Bit 31 is X field and reserved. > And yes, "depwi 0,31,2,XX" is clearing the bottom 2 bits of XX. > > I'm a bit confused about the ">=" conditional since only one bit is tested. > So is the copy only executed on branch not taken case? The conditions for bb are unique. The word conditions are < and >=. The double word conditions are *< and *>=. See Table D-15 on page D-9 in arch.
