How is carry affected by compare?
Somewhere I read that the carry is affected by the result of a compare.
It's not in the Prog.Ref.Guide, other than a flag in the register table.
How does this work?

IMHO Oswald and Jackasser are confusing newbe's with "big-coca-cola-glasses", trying to explain what goes on inside the silicon.
CMP #$40 for instance, gives you the same result(READ RESULT) except touching the A, as:
SEC
SBC #$40
Don't listen to them newbe's.

I do admire Oswald and Jackasser coding skills. Don't take me wrong. :)
I'm curious, though, about the inner workings. I guess Mace got his answer how the CMP affects the carry by now?! :) |

Yes, the answer is clear. Thanks for that!
And although the related subjects are interesting too, I think most if not all is said by now ;-) |

what jackie said, and as I think about it, implementing it with the "implied" SEC way may be just as simple as doing an SBC which just ignores the carry. Someone ask Chuck Peddle :) |

A simple SBC doesn't ignore the carry. |

I speculate about how cmp does its thing, wether it has a built in sec, or it just ignores the carry. |
