Re: [avr-gcc-list] brcs and brlo

[David Brown]

brlo and brcs are the same thing.  "brlo" is "branch if lower", "brcs" is
"branch if carry set".  Similarly, the other branches can be described
either arithmetically (lower, equal, etc.) or in terms of the flags (carry,
negative, zero, etc.).  Which form is most suitable will depend on the code,
but when disassembling, the tools can only pick one.

mvh.,

Hi all,

Seems like a trivial question, but if I have an assembler (.S) file with the
lines

cpi r24, K
brlo LABEL

and compile with gcc it seems to compile to

cpi r24, K
brcs LABEL

The functions appear to be 100% equivalent, so I don't care, except that I
was not expecting this. Same occurs for brcc vs brsh.

Is this a feature?
