|
<p>Certain pseudo opcodes are permitted. They are for branch
|
|
instructions. They expand to the shortest branch instruction that
|
|
reaches the target. Generally these mnemonics are made by
|
|
substituting ‘<samp>j</samp>’ for ‘<samp>b</samp>’ at the start of a DEC mnemonic.
|
|
This feature is included both for compatibility and to help
|
|
compilers. If you do not need this feature, avoid these
|
|
opcodes. Here are the mnemonics, and the code they can expand into.
