title: x86 cmpl and jne
body: <p>I'm tracing some x86 code for an assignment, and I was wondering what exactly &quot;cmpl&quot; does and how to predict whether or not the &quot;jne&quot; will be met.</p>
  <pre><code>80484bf:    83 7d f0 07             cmpl   $0x7,-0x10(%ebp)
  80484c3:    75 16                   jne    80484db
  </code></pre>
