#132758 - Creation of instruction sets Responding to: ???'s previous message |
When micros were first being designed in the 1970s, it was not clear what an instruction set should contain. For example, look at the original emphasis on indexed data on the 6502. As time progressed, and more micros were actually used in applications, user feedback influenced the instruction set.
Instruction sets became less important with the development of C and other compilers, which tend to insulate the users from the hardware. |
