Conditional execution in T32 code

In T32 code, there are several ways to achieve conditional execution. You can conditionally skip over the instruction using a conditional branch instruction.

Instructions can also be conditionally executed by using either of the following:

  • CBZ and CBNZ.
  • The IT (If-Then) instruction.

The T32 CBZ (Conditional Branch on Zero) and CBNZ (Conditional Branch on Non-Zero) instructions compare the value of a register against zero and branch on the result.

IT is a 16-bit instruction that enables a single subsequent 16-bit T32 instruction from a restricted set to be conditionally executed, based on the value of the condition flags, and the condition code suffix specified.

The use of the IT instruction is deprecated when any of the following are true:

  • There is more than one instruction in the IT block.
  • There is a 32-bit instruction in the IT block.
  • The instruction in the IT block references the PC.
