Transferring bit condition in 2 instructions ?

translates to:


Is it possible to do it in only 1 or 2 instructions?
I'm using an 18F14K22

studying the datasheet this is the best i can think off

There must be a wider context implication. A straight bitwise equal in Basic looks like three instructions:

Your code has the disadvantage of the PIC output turning off and then back on again if it is on to start with and bit 7 of GREEN_DUTY is on.

That glitch is avoided with this:-


I am fairly sure that there is usually no quicker way of transferring a bit state in less than 3 instructions, if you don't know the initial state.

On PWM applications, you may already know that the output is off when you come round to turn it on.

Also, you may be able to clear an entire register, then set individual bits. Each individual bit has two instructions to set it, but the overall number of instructions is less than if you cleared individual bits one at a time.

Ooops, thanks for pointing that out, didn't see that at first.
