<p><a name="index-VAX-branch-improvement-2510"></a><a name="index-branch-improvement_002c-VAX-2511"></a><a name="index-pseudo_002dops-for-branch_002c-VAX-2512"></a>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><span class="samp">j</span></samp>’ for ‘<samp><span class="samp">b</span></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.
