Bruce Dawson Review
Colin,
I normally do specify the full instruction coding for my assembly statements,
and expect the assembler to complain if one of them (e.g. bra.s) isn't
feasible. As long as it doesn't actually change anything, I'm happy.
As for move.l #val,a0 vs movea.l #val,a0, I normally code all moves to
address registers as movea — this serves as a reminder to me that the
condition codes are still valid after the move. My currecnt assembler (CAPE)
doesn't complain about the move.l form, though I wish it did.
