Notes

The first clock count is for the true condition (branch taken); the second clock count is for the false condition (branch not taken). rel16/32 indicates that these instructions map to two; one with a 16-bit relative displacement, the other with a 32-bit relative displacement, depending on the operand-size attribute of the instruction.

Operation

IF condition
THEN
   EIP := EIP + SignExtend(rel8/16/32);
   IF OperandSize = 16
   THEN EIP := EIP AND 0000FFFFH;
   FI;
FI;

Description

Conditional jumps (except JCXZ) test the flags which have been set by a previous instruction. The conditions for each mnemonic are given in parentheses after each description above. The terms "less" and "greater" are used for comparisons of signed integers; "above" and "below" are used for unsigned integers.

If the given condition is true, a jump is made to the location provided as the operand. Instruction coding is most efficient when the target for the conditional jump is in the current code segment and within -128 to +127 bytes of the next instruction's first byte. The jump can also target -32768 thru +32767 (segment size attribute 16) or -2^(31) thru +2^(31) -1 (segment size attribute 32) relative to the next instruction's first byte. When the target for the conditional jump is in a different segment, use the opposite case of the jump instruction (i.e., JE and JNE), and then access the target with an unconditional far jump to the other segment. For example, you cannot code--

JZ FARLABEL;
You must instead code--
   JNZ BEYOND;
   JMP FARLABEL;
BEYOND:
Because there can be several ways to interpret a particular state of the flags, ASM386 provides more than one mnemonic for most of the conditional jump opcodes. For example, if you compared two characters in AX and want to jump if they are equal, use JE; or, if you ANDed AX with a bit field mask and only want to jump if the result is 0, use JZ, a synonym for JE.

JCXZ differs from other conditional jumps because it tests the contents of the CX or ECX register for 0, not the flags. JCXZ is useful at the beginning of a conditional loop that terminates with a conditional loop instruction (such as LOOPNE TARGET LABEL). The JCXZ prevents entering the loop with CX or ECX equal to zero, which would cause the loop to execute 64K or 32G times instead of zero times.
