The instruction set is whatever the machine architects define it to be.
Granted, there are good reasons for keeping the instruction set simple (and
letting subroutines in software handle more complex tasks), but we as an
industry didn't learn those reasons without trying to implement more complex
operations, including set-manipulation and parsing.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

"Arithmetic is mathematics, but mathematics is more than arithmetic."
Exactly my point -- it doesn't have to encompass the whole field to be included
in that field.
