Re: Split instruction and immediate stream

In the latest test project, the LB650 similar to a PowerPC, large
constants are encoded at the end of the cache line. So, there is a
similar issue of code running into the constant area.

What is your motivation for this?

If you have an instruction including constant(s) which no longer
fits your cache line (say, 8 bytes left and 12 bytes needed)
it does not matter where you put the constants and where you
put the instructions - it will not fit, and you have to start
a new cache line.

I am not seeing an advantage over what Power 10 does, which is
just to add a NOP at the end if things don't fit on a cacheline.
