The addc and a instructions place the sum of the contents of general-purpose register (GPR) RA and GPR RB into the target GPR RT.
The addc instruction has four syntax forms. Each syntax form has a different effect on Condition Register Field 0 and the Fixed-Point Exception Register.
The a instruction has four syntax forms. Each syntax form has a different effect on Condition Register Field 0 and the Fixed-Point Exception Register.
Syntax Form | Overflow Exception (OE) | Fixed-Point Exception Register | Record Bit (Rc) | Condition Register Field 0 |
addc | 0 | CA | 0 | None |
addc. | 0 | CA | 1 | LT,GT,EQ,SO |
addco | 1 | SO,OV,CA | 0 | None |
addco. | 1 | SO,OV,CA | 1 | LT,GT,EQ,SO |
a | 0 | CA | 0 | None |

The four syntax forms of the addc instruction and the four syntax forms of the a instruction always affect the Carry bit (CA) in the Fixed-Point Exception Register. If the syntax form sets the Overflow Exception (OE) bit to 1, the instruction affects the Summary Overflow (SO) and Overflow (OV) bits in the Fixed-Point Exception Register. If the syntax form sets the Record (Rc) bit to 1, the instruction affects the Less Than (LT) zero, Greater Than (GT) zero, Equal To (EQ) zero, and Summary Overflow (SO) bits in Condition Register Field 0.
