LOOPNZ and LOOPNE LOOPNZ (LOOPNE) is a conditional loop instruction Syntax: LOOPNZ destination LOOPNE destination Logic: ECX ECX – 1; if ECX > 0 and ZF=0, jump to destination Useful when scanning an array for the first element that matches a given value. LOOPNZ Example .data array SWORD -3,-6,-1,-10,10,30,40,4 sentinel SWORD 0 .code mov esi,OFFSET array mov ecx,LENGTHOF array next: test WORD PTR [esi],8000h ; test sign bit pushfd ; push flags on stack add esi,TYPE array popfd ; pop flags from stack loopnz next ; continue loop jnz quit ; none found sub esi,TYPE array ; ESI points to value .
