   testb %al, %al   
      
   internally performs   
      
   andb  %al, %al   
      
   without writing the result to the destination. Hence,   
      
   andb  %al, %al   
      
   sets ZF if %al is zero. in all other cases, ZF is cleared. PF and   
   SF are set according to %al's content. CF and OF are set to zero,   
   no matter, what %al currently holds.
