not di does not seem to perform bitwise negation (lemmy.world)

I've been trying to debug a program I'm working on and have managed to narrow it down to a single not statement. I fail to understand how this could fail. My current suspicion is the fact that I'm using a 16 bit (aka short) register. Should I even be using this?


Before `not di`	`1101111110000000`
Expected after `not di`	`0010000001111111`
Actually after `not di`	`10000001111111`

Code

.certain:
not di ; ← this line is the problem
bsf ax, di

GDB output

(gdb) p/t (short) $di $4 = 1101111110000000
(gdb) nexti
(gdb) p/t (short) $di $5 = 10000001111111

Your result is correct, is just not displaying the leading zeros.

Thanks, I somehow completely missed that.

Do you perhaps know how to show the leading zeros?

I'm not great with gdb but I think using the x cmd shows them.

Yes, but that doesn't seem to work with registers
