BL

Branch with Link branches to a PC-relative offset, setting the register X30 to PC+4. It provides a hint that this is a subroutine call.

op

26-bit signed PC-relative branch offset

BL <label>

BranchType branch_type = if op == '1' then BranchType_CALL else BranchType_JMP; bits(64) offset = SignExtend(imm26:'00', 64);

Assembler Symbols

<label>

Is the program label to be unconditionally branched to. Its offset from the address of this instruction, in the range +/-128MB, is encoded as "imm26" times 4.

Operation

if branch_type == BranchType_CALL then X[30] = PC[] + 4; BranchTo(PC[] + offset, branch_type);
