Description

The sum (RA) + (RB) is placed into register RT.

Operation

if 'addc' then
    RT <- (RA) + (RB)
else if 'addc.' then
    RT <- (RA) + (RB)
    if Rc=1 then update CR0
else if 'addco' then
    RT <- (RA) + (RB)
    if OE=1 then update XER[SO], XER[OV]
else if 'addco.' then
    RT <- (RA) + (RB)
    if Rc=1 then update CR0
    if OE=1 then update XER[SO], XER[OV]

Programming Note

When Rc=1 (dot form), CR0 is updated with the signed comparison of the result against zero (LT, GT, EQ) and the current SO bit from XER.
