Hi Tony!
There is no dedicated, readable register for the PC in the
PowerPC as in other architectures. Programs don't generally
need to know the PC anyway.
However, if you really need to find out the PC, you could try
something like this:
bl .tmp ; Branch to the next instruction, saving return address in LR
tmp:
mfspr r3, lr ; Move LR to r3, voila!
This will put the address of the instruction at tmp
in the r3 register. This will of course overwrite the LR
register, so if you are doing this in a subroutine you
will have to save restore LR afterwards.
Regards,
/Linus
