Unfortunately, cbnz/cbz has a 6-bit:'0' (7-bit aligned to 2) immediate offset that is *zero extended*, i.e. it is only for forward branches.

Hello,
I have a question about cbnz/cbz thumb-2 instruction implementation in thumb2.md file:
I have an example where we jump to a label which appears before the branch; for example:
L4 ... cmp r3, 0 bne .L4It seems that cbnz instruction should be applied in this loop; replacing cmp+bne; however, cbnz fails to be applied as diff = ADDRESS (L4) - ADDRESS (bne .L4) is negative and according to thumb2_cbz in thumb2.md it should be 2<=diff<=128 (please see snippet below taken from thumb2_cbz).
So I want to double check if the current implementation of thumb2_cbnz in thumb2.md needs to be changed to enable it.
The following is from thumb2_cbnz in thumb2.md:
[(set (attr "length") (if_then_else (and (ge (minus (match_dup 1) (pc)) (const_int 2)) (le (minus (match_dup 1) (pc)) (const_int 128)) (eq (symbol_ref ("which_alternative")) (const_int 0))) (const_int 2) (const_int 8)))]
Thanks, Revital
