rep instruction without ecx's control

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

In the following code, the nop instruction prefixed by rep will
execute several times. How many times the instruction executes  is
controlled by ecx register. But, there is no explicit setting of ecx
register. What's the meaning of this instruction?
