<p>Certain pseudo opcodes are permitted for branch instructions.
They expand to the shortest branch instruction that reach the
target. Generally these mnemonics are made by prepending &lsquo;<samp>j</samp>&rsquo; to
the start of Motorola mnemonic. These pseudo opcodes are not affected
by the &lsquo;<samp>--short-branches</samp>&rsquo; or &lsquo;<samp>--force-long-branches</samp>&rsquo; options.
</p>
<p>The following table summarizes the pseudo-operations.

<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>jbsr</code></dt>
<dt><code>jbra</code></dt>
<dd><p>These are the simplest jump pseudo-operations; they always map to one
particular machine instruction, depending on the displacement to the
branch target.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>jb<var>XX</var></code></dt>
<dd><p>Here, &lsquo;<samp>jb<var>XX</var></samp>&rsquo; stands for an entire family of pseudo-operations,
where <var>XX</var> is a conditional branch or condition-code test. The full
list of pseudo-ops in this family is:
</p><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> jbcc jbeq jbge jbgt jbhi jbvs jbpl jblo
jbcs jbne jblt jble jbls jbvc jbmi
</pre></div>
<p>For the cases of non-PC relative displacements and long displacements,
<code>as</code> issues a longer code fragment in terms of
<var>NX</var>, the opposite condition to <var>XX</var>. For example, for the
non-PC relative case:
</p><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> jb<var>XX</var> foo
</pre></div>
<p>gives
</p><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"> b<var>NX</var>s oof
jmp foo
