[9]1! bcmp() Author: Kees J. Bot

5! int bcmp(const void *s1, const void *s2, size_t n)
6! Compare two chunks of memory.
7! This is a BSD routine that escaped from the kernel. Don't use.
8! (Alas it is not without some use, it reports the number of bytes
9! after the bytes that are equal. So it can't be simply replaced.)
10!

21 test eax, eax
22 jz equal
23 sub edx, 8(ebp) ! Memcmp was nice enough to leave "esi" in edx
24 dec edx ! Number of bytes that are equal
25 mov eax, 16(ebp)
26 sub eax, edx ! Number of bytes that are unequal
27equal: leave
28 ret
