Short: MagicSNs PowerPC ASM Tutorial
Author: MagicSN@Birdland.es.bawue.de
Uploader: MagicSN@Birdland.es.bawue.de
Type: dev/asm
This document is a sideproduct of my ongoing work about the PowerPC Version
of my rtgmaster.library. It is a Amigaguide Tutorial of how to do PowerPC
Assembler. It is mainly intended for 68k ASM Coders who want to learn
PowerPC Assembler. Well, Tutorial is too much said, it mainly explains
the PPC ASM Commands. You could for example start with it to convert
the speed-intensive parts of your 64k Intro to PPC Assembler. You only
had to convert about 10% of your code, usually !!! The rest stays 68k...
The Tutorial bases on the StormPowerASM Assembler from Haage&Partner, which
means that it uses the PowerOpen Standard, which means that it uses WarpOS
from Haage&Partner. If you use ppc.library, you should read the documentation
VERY CAREFULLY, as not everything of the docs will also apply to ppc.library
(in fact a lot of stuff will be totally different...)
This is a small Update which fixes a small bug in the last document
(concerning the handling of the Borrow/Carry Bit by the PPC, which is
different from like the 68k handles things...).
