ARM 学习笔记之4： 常用指令4) CMP and CMN

CMP and CMN
                Compare and Compare Negative.
Syntax
                CMP{cond} Rn, Operand2
                CMN{cond} Rn, Operand2
where:
cond
               is an optional condition code.
Rn
               is the register holding the first operand.
Operand2
               is a flexible second operand.

Operation
These instructions compare the value in a register with Operand2. They update the condition flags on the
result, but do not place the result in any register.
The CMP instruction subtracts the value of Operand2 from the value in Rn. This is the same as a SUBS
instruction, except that the result is discarded.

 Rn - Operand2
The CMN instruction adds the value of Operand2 to the value in Rn. This is the same as an ADDS
instruction, except that the result is discarded.

Rn + Operand2
In certain circumstances, the assembler can substitute CMN for CMP, or CMP for CMN. Be aware of this when
reading disassembly listings.
