Does anyone know if a TAS (Test And Set) instruction is available in the Txxx serie. If none, any trick or suggestion is welcome. Thanks Jean-Jacques Codani INRIA - Domaine de Voluceau BP 105 78153 Le-Chesnay Cedex FRANCE tel: +33-1 39 63 52 48 email : codani@inria.inria.fr

Why would you want to use a Test And Set instruction for synchronization when you've got built-in efficient message passing?
