Does misaligned exception in nottaken branches cause an exception?

[omerguzelelectronicguy]

I couldn't understand the misaligned exception when the branch is not taken and the target has a misaligned address. Is there any explanation in the spec? If not I think it should be added to the spec.

This is from an older release of the spec:

So, no, there will be no exception in that case.

Thank you. I think it should be in the latest version of the spec too.

it should be in the latest version of the spec

It is:

riscv-isa-manual/src/rv32.adoc

Lines 645 to 646 in 87edab7

	true. If the branch condition evaluates to false, the
	instruction-address-misaligned exception will not be raised.
