What potential problems might there be with implementing


Problem

Testing a difference against zero is not the same as comparing two numbers in finite precision arithmetic. Propose an encoding for an SRC branch instruction that specifies two registers to be compared, rather than one register to be compared against zero.

a. What potential problems might there be with implementing the modified instruction?

b. How would condition codes improve the situation?

c. Can you suggest a restructuring of the SRC branch that would help without using condition codes?
