Format:

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. Unconditionally, the address of the instruction after the delay slot is
placed in the link register,
r31
. If the contents of general register
rs
are zero or greater when compared to zero,
then the program branches to the target address, with a delay of one instruction. General register
r31
should not
be specified as general register
rs
. If register
r31
is specified, restarting may be impossible due to the destruction
of
rs
contents caused by storing a link address. Even such instructions are executed, an exception does not result.
Operation:
32 T: target (offset15)14 || offset || 02
condition (GPR [rs]31 = 0)
GPR [31] PC + 8
T+1: if condition then
PC PC + target
else
NullifyCurrentInstruction
endif
64 T: target (offset15)46 || offset || 02
condition (GPR [rs]63 = 0)
GPR [31] PC + 8
T+1: if condition then
PC PC + target
else
NullifyCurrentInstruction
endif
Exceptions:
None
