Subject: Regarding the LL & SC instructions
Date: Sun, 4 Jan 2004 09:09:22 +0000 (GMT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040104090922.35955.qmail@web10102.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)

Hi All,

    Seems that LL & SC instrutions operate on a 'word'
data.
    Can we use the same instructions to do a atomic
increment on a 'byte' data. If not, are there any
specific instructions to operate on a byte data?
(Like, LLD & SCD for doubleword data) or else, any 
method to achieve this using the LL & SC instr?

Thanks much,
-karthi
