14<h2>Purpose</h2>
15
16<p>
17Branch to the given destination if the given two registers' values compare as
18specified.
19</p>
20<p>
21Note: The branch offset may not be 0. (A spin loop may be legally constructed
22either by branching around a backward goto or by including a nop as a target
23before the branch.)

54<h2>Constraints</h2>
55
56<ul>
57 <li>
58 A and B must be valid register indices for the current stack frame.
59 </li>
60 <li>
61 Registers vA and vB must not contain a reference value.
62 </li>
63 <li>
64 Registers vA and vB must not be part of a register pair.
65 </li>
66 <li>
67 Registers vA and vB must not contain a floating point value (???).
68 </li>
69 C must of a signed offset that, when added to the PC of the instruction,
70 points to a valid bytecode instruction inside the same method.
71 </li>
72</ul>
73
74<h2>Behavior</h2>
75
76<ul>
77 <li>
78 The values of registers vA and vB are compared according to the &lt;test&gt;
79 condition. Two results are possible:
80 <ul>
81 <li>
82 The condition holds. The value of C is used as a signed offset to the
83 address of the if-&lt;test&gt; instruction. Execution continues at the
84 resulting address.
85 </li>
86 <li>
87 The condition does not hold. Execution continues at the instruction
88 following the if-&lt;test&gt; instruction.
89 </li>
90 </ul>
91 </li>
92</ul>
93
94<h2>Exceptions</h2>

96<p>
