Index Trap flag

A trap flag permits operation of a processor in single-step mode. [1]

Adjust flag

The Adjust flag is a CPU flag in the FLAGS register of all x86-compatible CPUs, and the preceding 8080-family; it is also called the Auxiliary flag and the Auxiliary Carry flag (AC).

Carry flag

In computer processors the carry flag (usually indicated as the C flag) is a single bit in a system status (flag) register used to indicate when an arithmetic carry or borrow has been generated out of the most significant ALU bit position.

Central processing unit

A central processing unit (CPU) is the electronic circuitry within a computer that carries out the instructions of a computer program by performing the basic arithmetic, logical, control and input/output (I/O) operations specified by the instructions.

Computer program

A computer program is a collection of instructions for performing a specific task that is designed to solve a specific class of problems.

Debugger

A debugger or debugging tool is a computer program that is used to test and debug other programs (the "target" program).

Direction flag

The direction flag is a flag that controls the left-to-right or right-to-left direction of string processing, stored in the FLAGS register on all x86-compatible CPUs.

Intel 8086

The 8086 (also called iAPX 86) is a 16-bit microprocessor chip designed by Intel between early 1976 and mid-1978, when it was released.

Interrupt

In system programming, an interrupt is a signal to the processor emitted by hardware or software indicating an event that needs immediate attention.

Interrupt flag

IF (Interrupt Flag) is a system flag bit in the x86 architecture's FLAGS register, which determines whether or not the CPU will handle maskable hardware interrupts.

Negative flag

In a computer processor the negative flag or sign flag is a single bit in a system status (flag) register used to indicate whether the result of the last mathematical operation resulted in a value in which the most significant bit was set.

New!!: Trap flag and Negative flag · See more »

Overflow flag

In computer processors, the overflow flag (sometime called V flag) is usually a single bit in a system status register used to indicate when an arithmetic overflow has occurred in an operation, indicating that the signed two's-complement result would not fit in the number of bits used for the operation (the ALU width).

Parity flag

In computer processors the parity flag indicates if the number of set bits is odd or even in the binary representation of the result of the last operation.

Program animation

Program animation or Stepping refers to the now very common debugging method of executing code one "line" at a time.

Stack (abstract data type)

In computer science, a stack is an abstract data type that serves as a collection of elements, with two principal operations.

Zero flag

The zero flag is a single bit flag that is a central feature on most conventional CPU architectures (including x86, ARM, PDP-11, 68000, 6502, and numerous others).
