Description:
A branch target address is computed from the sum of the address of the instruction in the delay slot and the 16-bit
offset
, shifted left two bits and sign-extended. If the contents of CP0's condition signal (CpCond) is true, then the
program branches to the target address, with a delay of one instruction.
Because the condition line is sampled during the previous instruction, there must be at least one instruction
between this instruction and a coprocessor instruction that changes the condition line.
Operation:
32 T-1: condition SR18
T: target (offset15)14 || offset || 02
T+1: if condition then
PC PC + target
endif
64 T-1: condition SR18
T: target (offset15)46 || offset || 02
T+1: if condition then
PC PC + target
endif
Exceptions:
Coprocessor unusable exception
