What is more important, is the code before 1800587C.
Compilers translate actions like
- if (condition is good)
- then
into conditional jumps. What you can see with the MOV and REG is most probably the result of a failed condition (-1). Afterwards it depends on the compiler, how it further treats the result.
Maybe the original pseudo code is as follows:
sig_check_result = do_check(important args); ... if (sig_check_result == 0) everything goes fine ... ... a.s.o
So the question is, why it goes to the branch where R0 is set to -1 (patch 0) and what conditional branches lead to this code position? And the even more important question is, what is the underlying pseudo code?
