A conditional instruction architected to receive one or more operands as inputs, to output to a target the result of an operation performed on the operands if a condition is satisfied, and to not provide an output if the condition is not satisfied, is executed so that it unconditionally provides an output to the target. The conditional instruction obtains the prior value of the target (that is, the value produced by the most recent instruction preceding the conditional instruction that updated that target). The condition is evaluated. If the condition is satisfied, an operation is performed and the result of the operation output to the target. If the condition is not satisfied, the prior value is output to the target. Subsequent instructions may rely on the target as an operand source (whether written to a register or forwarded to the instruction), prior to the condition evaluation. |
