TBZ

Test bit and Branch if Zero 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.

Assembler Symbols

<R>

Is a width specifier, encoded in b5:

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.

Operation

bits(datasize) operand = X[t, datasize];
if operand<bit_pos> == op then
    BranchTo(PC64 + offset, BranchType_DIR, TRUE);
else
    BranchNotTaken(BranchType_DIR, TRUE);
