As part of a research project testing the accuracy of the sleigh specifications compared to real hardware, we observed an unexpected behaviour in the
c.jalr
,c.jr
, andret
instructions for RISCV. According to section 16.4 of the 20191213 unprivileged specification, these instructions expand to thejalr
instruction. In section 2.5 it says that when calculating the address forjalr
the least significant bit is cleared. While the current behaviour leaves this bit as is. Current behaviour for thec.jalr
instruction also jumps to theinst_next
address instead of the registers value when thera
register is used.
