Test bit and branch if zero
This instruction 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. This instruction provides a hint that this is not a subroutine call or return. This instruction does not affect condition flags.

| <R> |
Is a width specifier,
encoded in
|
| <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. |
let operand : bits(datasize) = X{}(t); let branch_conditional : boolean = TRUE; if operand[bit_pos] == '0' then BranchTo{64}(PC64() + offset, BranchType_DIR, branch_conditional); else BranchNotTaken(BranchType_DIR, branch_conditional); end;
