Divide By 2^n

Now as we have introduced some more instructions and operations, let us implement a function to divide any signed number by any power of two without using the expensive div or mul instructions. Like: int divide(int value, unsigned int n) := return value / 2^n.

segment .text
global divide

divide:
    enter 4, 0
    pusha
    mov eax, [ebp + 8]  ; eax = value
    mov edx, [ebp + 12] ; edx = n
    xor ebx, ebx    ; set ebx = 0
    shl eax, 1
    JC negative     ; if first bit was set, then carry is set
    shr eax, 1      ; eax = value
positive:
    shr eax, edx
    shr ebx, 1
    JC neg_return       ; if ebx is 1, value was negative

    ; else return here already
    mov [ebp - 4], eax
    popa
    mov eax, [ebp - 4]
    leave
    ret

negative:
    INC ebx         ; set ebx to 1 if value negative
    shr eax, 1      ; eax = value
    NEG eax     ; get positive value of eax
    JMP positive
neg_return:
    NEG eax
    mov [ebp - 4], eax
    popa
    mov eax, [ebp - 4]
    leave
    ret
