Code generation would fail when assembling a branch to a label that is bound
outside the immediate range of the instruction. A64 is sensitive to this, as the
various branching instructions have different ranges, going down to +-32KB for
TBZ/TBNZ. The MacroAssembler is augmented to handle branches to targets that
may exceed the immediate range of instructions.
When branching backward to a label exceeding the instruction range, the
MacroAssembler can simply tweak the generated code to use an unconditional
branch with a longer range. For example instead of
B(cond, &label);
the MacroAssembler can generate:
b(InvertCondition(cond), &done);
b(&label);
bind(&done);
Since the target is not known when the branch is emitted, forward branches uses
a different mechanism. The MacroAssembler keeps track of forward branches to
unbound labels. When the code generation approaches the end of the range of a
branch, a veneer is generated for the branch.
