if_icmp<cond>
If the comparison succeeds, the unsigned branchbyte1 and branchbyte2 are used to construct a signed 16-bit offset, where the offset is calculated to be (branchbyte1 << 8) | branchbyte2. Execution then proceeds at that offset from the address of the opcode of this if_icmp<cond> instruction. The target address must be that of an opcode of an instruction within the method that contains this if_icmp<cond> instruction.
Otherwise, execution proceeds at the address of the instruction following this if_icmp<cond> instruction.
