Whichever works for you.

The full set of conditions, mnemonics, and a bitmask with the bits in
the order from MSB to LSB (OF,SF,ZF,PF,CF) which is probably the sanest
way to model these for the purpose of boolean optimization.

Opcode Mnemonics Condition Bitmask
0 o OF 0xffff0000
1 no !OF 0x0000ffff
2 b/c/nae CF 0xaaaaaaaa
3 ae/nb/nc !CF 0x55555555
4 e/z ZF 0xf0f0f0f0
5 ne/nz !ZF 0x0f0f0f0f
6 na CF || ZF 0xfafafafa
7 a !CF && !ZF 0x05050505
8 s SF 0xff00ff00
9 ns !SF 0x00ff00ff
A p/pe PF 0xcccccccc
B np/po !PF 0x33333333
C l/nge SF != OF 0x00ffff00
D ge/nl SF == OF 0xff0000ff
E le/ng ZF || (SF != OF) 0xf0fffff0
F g/nle !ZF && (SF == OF) 0x0f00000f
