Are you bewildered by the plethora of branch instructions in assembly language? Perhaps you’re wondering what all that jumping around is about? Not sure when to choose JNE over BNE or BC? This new paper addresses those issues and a few more you might find helpful. I’ll give you my own take on how to decide when to jump and when to branch. You might also learn a new way to load base registers, get a grip on relative branching, or improve your understanding of addressability. Click here for the pdf and jump in!
