Can you explain what exactly you mean with "indirect references" here?
Edit: To clarify my question — to the best of my knowledge, while the VAX had a higher level of indirection of indirection in instructions than the x86, the 68K has exactly the same level of indirection.
- jcranmer 6y agoSome architectures have instructions such as LDI imm that load MEM[MEM[imm]]--indirect memory references.
