> Yes, there's also the CF, but the caller may not be checking that, particularly if it's being done from a HLL.

You can’t call a CPU instruction from a high-level language. You would either use inline assembly or call a library function.

Either way, not handling CF=0 would be a bug (in your code or in the library function)
