  2. The FLAGS Register - Status Flags • Carry Flag (CF): • CF = 1 if there is a carry out from the msb on addition. • CF = 1 if there is a borrow into the msb on subtraction. • CF = 0 otherwise. • CF is also affected by shift and rotate instructions. • Parity Flag (PF): • PF = 1 if the low byte of a result has an even number of one bits • PF = 0 if the low byte has odd parity • (ex. if a result is FFFE PF = 0). By: Nora Alaqeel

  3. The FLAGS Register - Status Flags • Zero Flag (ZF): • ZF = 1 for a zero result. • ZF = 0 for nonzero result. • Sign Flag (SF): • SF = 1 if the msb of a result is 1. • (i.e. Negative if signed interpretation is used). • SF = 0 if the msb is 0. By: Nora Alaqeel

  4. The FLAGS Register - Status Flags • Overflow Flag (OF): • OF = 1 if signed overflow occurred. • OF = 0 otherwise. By: Nora Alaqeel

  5. How Instructions Affect the Flags • In general, each time the processor executes an instruction, the flags • are altered to reflect the result. • However, some instructions don’t affect any of the flags, affects • only some of them, or may leave them undefined. Instruction Affects flags MOV/XCHG none ADD/SUB all INC/DEC all except CF By: Nora Alaqeel

  6. Question1 Q1:For each of the following instructions, give the new destination contents and the new settings of SF,ZF,PF, CF and OF. Suppose that the flags are initially 0 in each part of this question: By: Nora Alaqeel
