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.
