What is it you're trying to do?

"..." is not code. :-)

The values should not be equal, since you wrote a byte and read back a
word.

Furthermore, you are storing the constant 30, but are comparing r23 with
the register r30 (I never liked that aspect of ppc asm syntax -- too
error prone).  If you want to compare with the constant 30, use "cmpwi".

That's because you have an infinite loop in your code, right after "beq
print_equal".
