Most of the time you won't be jumping to a specific address. You can place a label before any instruction, and a jump to that label is the same as a jump to the address of that instruction. |
|||
<lang mips>j GoHere |
|||
nop ;branch delay slot. This instruction would get executed DURING the jump. We'll make that instruction a NOP, which does nothing. |
|||
GoHere |
|||
addiu $t0,1 ;this instruction is the first one executed after jumping.</lang> |
