+#### Conditional assembly tests based on instruction support
+
+Tests that depend on specific assembly instructions being available can use the
+`//@ needs-asm-mnemonic: <MNEMONIC>` directive. This will skip the test if the
+target backend does not support the specified instruction mnemonic.
+
+For example, a test that requires the `RET` instruction:
+```rust,ignore
+//@ needs-asm-mnemonic: RET
+```
