  68. <p>Certain pseudo opcodes are permitted for branch instructions.
  69. They expand to the shortest branch instruction that reach the
  70. target. Generally these mnemonics are made by substituting &lsquo;<samp>j</samp>&rsquo; for
  71. &lsquo;<samp>b</samp>&rsquo; at the start of a Motorola mnemonic.
  72. </p>
  73. <p>The following table summarizes the pseudo-operations. A <code>*</code> flags
  74. cases that are more fully described after the table:

  96. <dd><p>These are the simplest jump pseudo-operations; they always map to one
  97. particular machine instruction, depending on the displacement to the
  98. branch target. This instruction will be a byte or word branch is that
  99. is sufficient. Otherwise, a long branch will be emitted if available.
  100. If no long branches are available and the &lsquo;<samp>--pcrel</samp>&rsquo; option is not
  101. given, an absolute long jump will be emitted instead. If no long
  102. branches are available, the &lsquo;<samp>--pcrel</samp>&rsquo; option is given, and a word
  103. branch cannot reach the target, an error message is generated.
  104. </p>
  105. <p>In addition to standard branch operands, <code>as</code> allows these
  106. pseudo-operations to have all operands that are allowed for jsr and jmp,
  107. substituting these instructions if the operand given is not valid for a
  108. branch instruction.

  111. <dt><code>j<var>XX</var></code></dt>
  112. <dd><p>Here, &lsquo;<samp>j<var>XX</var></samp>&rsquo; stands for an entire family of pseudo-operations,
  113. where <var>XX</var> is a conditional branch or condition-code test. The full
  114. list of pseudo-ops in this family is:
  115. </p><div class="smallexample">
  116. <pre class="smallexample"> jhi jls jcc jcs jne jeq jvc
  117. jvs jpl jmi jge jlt jgt jle
  118. </pre></div>
  119. <p>Usually, each of these pseudo-operations expands to a single branch
  120. instruction. However, if a word branch is not sufficient, no long branches
  121. are available, and the &lsquo;<samp>--pcrel</samp>&rsquo; option is not given, <code>as</code>
  122. issues a longer code fragment in terms of <var>NX</var>, the opposite condition
  123. to <var>XX</var>. For example, under these conditions:
  124. </p><div class="smallexample">
  125. <pre class="smallexample"> j<var>XX</var> foo
  126. </pre></div>

  141. <p>Motorola &lsquo;<samp>db<var>XX</var></samp>&rsquo; instructions allow word displacements only. When
  142. a word displacement is sufficient, each of these pseudo-operations expands
  143. to the corresponding Motorola instruction. When a word displacement is not
  144. sufficient and long branches are available, when the source reads
