Abstract
A processing circuitis responsive to at least one conditional instruction to perform a conditional operation in dependence on a current value of a subset of at least one condition flag. A trace circuitis provided for generating trace data elements indicative of operations performed by the processing circuit. When the processing circuitprocesses at least one selected instruction, then the trace circuitgenerates a trace data element including a traced condition value indicating at least the subset of condition flagsrequired to determine the outcome of the conditional instruction. A corresponding diagnostic apparatususes the traced condition value to determine a processing outcome of the at least one conditional instruction.
