<h1>if-&lt;test&gt;z</h1>
<h2>Purpose</h2>
<p>
Branch to the given destination if the given register's value compares with 0
as specified.
</p>
<p>
Note: The branch offset may not be 0. (A spin loop may be legally constructed
either by branching around a backward goto or by including a nop as a target
before the branch.)

<h2>Constraints</h2>
<ul>
<li>
A must be a valid register index for the current stackframe.
</li>
<li>
Register vA must not contain a reference value.
</li>
<li>
Register vA must not be part of a register pair.
</li>
<li>
Register vA must not contain a floating point value (???).
</li>
<li>
B must not be 0.
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Behavior</h2>
<ul>
<li>
The value of register vA is compared to zero according to the &lt;test&gt;
condition. Two results are possible:
<ul>
<li>
The condition holds. The value of B is used as a signed offset to the
address of the if-&lt;test&gt;z instruction. Execution continues at the
resulting address.
</li>
<li>
The condition does not hold. Execution continues at the instruction
following the if-&lt;test&gt;z instruction.
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Exceptions</h2>
<p>
None.
