Test

how does the test work, for example:

test eax, eax
je 1500d7e3

is this comparing eax to eax and then jumping if they are equal. and if so, wont they always be equal so the jump will alway happen ???

i thought

-------------------------------

CMP eax,eax
JE MyLabel

MyLabel:
Mov loo,poo


--------------------------------

would compare then jump

what??

CMP eax,eax

i thought that compares them

then this jumps if equal

JE 'whatever label'

test eax, eax
is usually used with jz, to see if a register is 0 or not. You can't use it to "compare a number to itself", it doesn't make sense.
