The POWER instruction set includes both branch equal and branch not equal instructions. I am not a compiler author, but it would seem abundantly reasonable to assume that IBM's compilers and runtimes would make use of both of those instructions.

Subject: If boolean vs. If not boolean

Hi gurus,

Forgive the trivialness of this question but I am wondering if you smart folks can answer this.

Compare these two statements:

If booleanVar;
If not booleanVar;

Do both of these take the exact same number of internal instructions for the test or does the second statement take an extra step?

Thanks.

Glenn Gundermann
