TBZ Test bit and branch if zero This instruction compares the value of a test bit with zero, and conditionally branches to a label at a PC-relative offset if the comparison is equal. It provides a hint that this is not a subroutine call or return. This instruction does not affect condition flags. 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 TBZ <R><t>, #<imm>, <label> constant integer t = UInt(Rt); constant integer datasize = 32 << UInt(b5); constant integer bit_pos = UInt(b5:b40); constant bits(64) offset = SignExtend(imm14:'00', 64); <R> Is a width specifier, b5 <R> 0 W 1 X
In assembler source code an 'X' specifier is always permitted, but a 'W' specifier is only permitted when the bit number is less than 32.
<t> Is the number [0-30] of the general-purpose register to be tested or the name ZR (31), encoded in the "Rt" field. <imm> Is the bit number to be tested, in the range 0 to 63, encoded in "b5:b40". <label> Is the program label to be conditionally branched to. Its offset from the address of this instruction, in the range +/-32KB, is encoded as "imm14" times 4.
constant bits(datasize) operand = X[t, datasize]; constant boolean branch_conditional = TRUE; if operand<bit_pos> == '0' then BranchTo(PC64 + offset, BranchType_DIR, branch_conditional); else BranchNotTaken(BranchType_DIR, branch_conditional);
