Efficient checking of a condition code anticipator for a floating point processor and/or unit
An aspect includes generating a data result and a special case indicator based on an instruction and at least one input data operand. Outputting the data result to a processor core. Outputting the first condition code to the processor core prior to outputting the data result to the processor core. G...

| Zusammenfassung: | An aspect includes generating a data result and a special case indicator based on an instruction and at least one input data operand. Outputting the data result to a processor core. Outputting the first condition code to the processor core prior to outputting the data result to the processor core. Generating a second condition code based on the data result and the special case indicator. Performing a check by comparing the first condition code and the second condition code and flagging an error to the processor core upon the first condition code being different from the second condition code. |
