CONSOLIDATION.md Phase 6. Both lived untracked in the project root -- on one
disk, backed up by nothing.
tools/ppc-manual/ 393 files, 3.7 MB. 455 instructions, 350 family pages,
598 mnemonics resolvable through index.json, plus the
generator that produced them.
tools/run-canary.sh the oracle launcher.
🔴 THE LAUNCHER WAS BROKEN IN TWO WAYS AND IS REWRITTEN, not copied:
* it pointed at `xenia-rs/sylpheed.iso`, a SYMLINK. Wine cannot resolve one
and says "path invalid", which reads as a corrupt image rather than a path
problem -- it has cost a session before. It now points at the real file and
warns if handed a symlink.
* it hardcoded one machine's absolute paths, and named `xenia-rs`, which this
consolidation retires. Now derived from the script's own location, with
SYLPH_CANARY_BIN / SYLPH_ISO overrides and a check that each exists.
The standing constraints are in its header where someone will read them: one
emulator at a time, Canary runs MUTED, and never judge a crash or a hang from
a Bash-launched run -- a SIGKILL that looked like the binary was the editor's
process supervisor.
⚠️ The manual's GENERATOR reads the xenia-rs source tree, which is going away.
Its decoder now lives here as crates/sylpheed-ppc, so the generator must be
repointed before it is run again. Recorded in the README rather than left for
someone to discover; the manual's content is checked in and regenerates from
nothing implicitly.

## Operands
|
||
|
||
| Field | Role | Description |
|
||
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||
| `CRBA` | crorc: read | CR source bit A (0–31). |
|
||
| `CRBB` | crorc: read | CR source bit B (0–31). |
|
||
| `CRBD` | crorc: write | CR destination bit (0–31). |

## Register Effects
|
||
|
||
### `crorc`
|
||
|
||
- **Reads (always):** `CRBA`, `CRBB`
|
||
- **Reads (conditional):** _none_
|
||
- **Writes (always):** `CRBD`
|
||
- **Writes (conditional):** _none_
|
||
|
||
## Status-Register Effects
|
||
|
||
_No condition-register or status-register effects._
|
||
|
||
## Operation (pseudocode)
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
; Pseudocode derives directly from the xenia-rs interpreter
|
||
; arm (see Implementation References). Operation semantics:
|
||
; - Read source operands from the fields listed under Operands.
|
||
; - Apply the arithmetic / logical / memory action described
|
||
; in the Description field above.
|
||
; - Write results to the destination register(s); update any
|
||
; status bits enumerated under Status-Register Effects.
|
||
; Consult the IBM AIX reference link under IBM Reference for
|
||
; canonical PPC-style pseudocode where xenia's expression is
|
||
; terse.
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## C Translation Example
|
||
|
||
```c
|
||
/* C translation: the xenia-rs interpreter arm below in */
|
||
/* Implementation References is the authoritative semantic */
|
||
/* snapshot. Translate it line-by-line: */
|
||
/* - ctx.gpr[N] -> r[N] (or f[]/v[] for FPRs/VRs) */
|
||
/* - mem.read_u*/write_u* -> mem_read_u*_be / mem_write_u*_be */
|
||
/* - ctx.update_cr_signed(fld, v) -> update_cr_signed(fld, v) */
|
||
/* - ctx.xer_ca / xer_ov / xer_so -> xer.CA / xer.OV / xer.SO */
|
||
/* The Register Effects and Status-Register Effects tables above */
|
||
/* enumerate every side effect a faithful translation must emit. */
|
||
```

||
## Special Cases & Edge Conditions
|
||
|
||
- **Operation.** `CR[CRBD] ← CR[CRBA] OR ¬CR[CRBB]` — a one-instruction "A or not B" implication. Result is 0 only when `A=0` and `B=1`.
|
||
- **Logical implication.** `B → A` ≡ `¬B ∨ A`, which is exactly `crorc BT, BA, BB`. Useful for predicates of the form "if B holds, then A must hold".
|
||
- **Identity case.** `crorc BT, BA, BA` always yields 1 (`A ∨ ¬A`), an alternative to `creqv` for setting a bit.
|
||
- **Bit-level operands.** 5-bit absolute CR-bit indices; sources and destination may all be in different CR fields.
|
||
- **Use case.** Compose "if B then A" guards without a separate complement step.
|
||
- **No `Rc` / `OE`.** Doesn't update CR0 or XER.
|
||
- **Not synchronising.** Reorderable.
|
||
- **xenia status.** Decoded by the generic CR-logical handler; canary emits OR-with-NOT directly.
