It seems that various similar constructs may be efficiently implemented by careful use of these instructions. Unfortunately the published literature seems deliberately vague about this set of instructions, giving not exactly exhaustive detail. If anyone knows how these things work in detail, or could point me at some references I would be grateful. It is possible that the vagueness has arisen as the implementation may change. This does not greatly concern me as long as I know what the current implementation(s) are and on which devices they are found. Thanx in advance.
