I feel that your explanations shows you think it is impossible for CPU not to place the load op into RS?Originally posted by: dmens
I know it is impossible because I own that chunk of logic on a P6-style uproc in dev, and yeah, I know the historical background too because I read all those design docs as well. Nitpicking about the meaning of x86 wording reveals absolutely zilch about backend operation. Please get the basics from a book or something because I'm not going to explain anything in detail.
Or you only think it is impossible for P6?
