"Jump if Equal" doesn't work

[MIchael]

I really can't understand why my code doesn't work correctly:

Code: [Select]

section .data

ok: db "Count of args isn't 1" , 10, 13, 0
err: db "Count of args is 1" , 10, 13, 0

section .text
    global _start
_start:

mov rax, [rsp]
cmp rax, 2             ;if ARGC = 1
jne ..@7.ifnot
mov rcx, ok
mov rax, 1
mov rdi, 1
mov rdx, 1

..@10.while:                ;print 'Count of args is 1\r\n' into console
    cmp [rcx], dword 0
    je ..@10.endwhile      ;This line
    mov rsi, rcx
    push rcx
    syscall
    pop rcx
    inc rcx
    jmp ..@10.while
..@10.endwhile:

jmp ..@7.ifend

..@7.ifnot:           ;if ARGC !== 1
    mov rcx, err
    mov rax, 1
    mov rdi, 1
    mov rdx, 1

..@15.while:           ;print 'Count of args isn't 1\r\n'
    cmp [rcx], dword 0
    je ..@15.endwhile
    mov rsi, rcx
    push rcx
    syscall
    pop rcx
    inc rcx
    jmp ..@15.while
..@15.endwhile:

..@7.ifend:            ;and exit
    mov rax, 60
    mov rdi, 0
    syscall

When I run `./test` it output "Count of args isn't 1" (expected behavior). But if I run `./test abcd` it print

Code: [Select]

Count of args is 1
Count of args isn't 1
When the next byte at the address RCX is 0 and program reaches "je ..@15.endwhile" line, it simply does not jump to "..@15.endwhile."

Why?

I'll try to get into this... later...
For now, let me try a wild-assemed guess...

Code: [Select]

..@15.while:           ;print 'Count of args isn't 1\r\n'
    cmp [rcx], dword 0
    je ..@15.endwhile
As you say, the next byte is zero. But you check for dword. Try changing that to byte.

Best,

Thank you!
