Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. An indirect branch (also known as a computed jump, indirect jump and register-indirect jump) is a type of program control instruction present in some machine language instruction sets. Rather than specifying the address of the next instruction to execute, as in a direct branch, the argument specifies where the address is located. Thus an example could be to 'jump indirect on the r1 register', which would mean that the next instruction to be executed would be at the address whose value is in register r1. The address to be jumped to is not known until the instruction is executed. Indirect branches can also depend on the value of a memory location.
