Hi,

I am very new to x86 assembly, i wanted clarification
from any one who knows it better...

I have written one x86 assembly program in which 
i am comparing the results of %eax with code fragment1
as indicated below. Meanwhile can i replace this
code fragment1 with code fragment2 by assuming that
%eax contains -1 as return value before executing any
of the code fragments

Code Fragment 1:
	test %eax, %eax
	jl sys_error

Code Fragment 2:
	cmpl $-4095, %eax
	jae sys_error	

Thanks in advance
