Hello Everyone,
Are there announced machines (specially micros) with
some conditional assignment instruction.  I mean
instruction such as the following:

MovCond R1, R2, R3 /* if (c1) R1 <- R2 else R1 <- R3 */

where, c1 refers to some result of some previous compare.

Any pointers to such machines or any quantitative evaluation
of usefulness of this instruction in the specific context
of some machine would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Pradeep
