PowerPC For Dummies: A simplified guide to understanding the PowerPC Instruction Set
#18
I don't mind at all.


1. Loads are just the opposite of stores. Stores copy a value from a register to a spot in memory, while loads copy a value from a spot in memory to a register. The same basic rules of stwx/stwu/stwux apply to the load versions as well.

2. It's just like bctrl except you jump to the address in the LR instead of the CTR. Then executing a blr later will have you jump back where you left off.
