[PATCH 1/4] [RFC] Add generic ARM instruction set condition code checks.

Mon Nov 21 13:30:46 EST 2011


This patch breaks the ARM condition checking code out of nwfpe/fpopcode.{ch}
into a standalone file for opcode operations. It also modifies the code
somwhat for coding style adherence, and adds some temporary variables for
increased readability.
