command test destination, source
The TEST instruction works same as the AND operation, but unlike AND instruction, it does not change the first operand.
The SF flag is set to the most significant bit of the result of the AND. If the result is 0, the ZF flag is set to 1, otherwise set to 0. The PF flag is set to the bitwise XNOR of the least significant byte of the result, 1 if the number of ones in that byte is even, 0 otherwise. The OF and CF flags are set to 0. The value of AF is undefined.
Computes the bit-wise logical AND of first operand (source 1 operand) and the second operand (source 2 operand) and sets the SF, ZF, and PF status flags according to the result. The result is then discarded.
