[llvm-dev] Question about relaxation in MC assembler

[Jim Grosbach via llvm-dev]

The MC relaxation is for choosing between different forms of a single instruction. You want something like the ARM64 branch relaxation pass instead.

I think I need to change the conditional instruction to multiple instructions with basic blocks for else and then syntax and it should be done in assembler because I can know correct the relative address in assembler level. I am looking at relaxation stuff in assembler to do it but I think it intends to change a instruction to one the other instruction. Could someone let me know how to change a instruction to multiple instructions in assembler level please? If I missed something, please let me know.
