<label>

Is the program label to be conditionally branched to. Its offset from the address of this instruction, in the range +/-1MB, is encoded as "imm19" times 4.

Operation

let branch_conditional : boolean = TRUE; if ConditionHolds(condition) then BranchTo{64}(PC64() + offset, BranchType_DIR, branch_conditional); else BranchNotTaken(BranchType_DIR, branch_conditional); end;
