Description
See the code snippet below:
0x1f211dd8 lis r3,16383
0x1f211ddc ori r3,r3,65535
0x1f211de0 cmplw cr1,r11,r3
0x1f211de4 lwz r12,-26432(r2)
0x1f211de8 nop
0x1f211dec mtctr r12
0x1f211df0 nop
0x1f211df4 nop
0x1f211df8 blectr cr1
0x1f211dfc trap
0x1f211e00 lwz r3,44(r31)
The purpose of this chunk of code is to compare register $r3 and $r11. If $r11 is not less or equal $r3 (i.e., greater than) a "trap" exception is executed ($r12 is pointing to 0x1f211e00).
These operations could be substituted by:
lis r3,16383
ori r3,r3,65535
tdgt r11,r3
lwz r3,44(r31)
Accordingly to the PowerPc64 Isa, Table 130 (trap mnemonics).
