The Netwide Assembler: NASM
Previous Chapter | Contents | Index
Appendix B: x86 Instruction Reference
This appendix provides a complete list of the machine instructions which NASM will assemble, and a short description of the function of each one.
It is not intended to be exhaustive documentation on the fine details of the instructions' function, such as which exceptions they can trigger: for such documentation, you should go to Intel's Web site,
http://developer.intel.com/design/Pentium4/manuals/
.
Instead, this appendix is intended primarily to provide documentation on the way the instructions may be used within NASM. For example, looking up
LOOP
will tell you that NASM allows
CX
or
ECX
to be specified as an optional second argument to the
LOOP
instruction, to enforce which of the two possible counter registers should be used if the default is not the one desired.
The instructions are not quite listed in alphabetical order, since groups of instructions with similar functions are lumped together in the same entry. Most of them don't move very far from their alphabetic position because of this.
B.1 Key to Operand Specifications
The instruction descriptions in this appendix specify their operands using the following notation:
- Registers:
reg8
denotes an 8-bit general purpose register,reg16
denotes a 16-bit general purpose register, andreg32
a 32-bit one.fpureg
denotes one of the eight FPU stack registers,mmxreg
denotes one of the eight 64-bit MMX registers, andsegreg
denotes a segment register. In addition, some registers (such asAL
,DX
orECX
) may be specified explicitly. - Immediate operands:
imm
denotes a generic immediate operand.imm8
,imm16
andimm32
are used when the operand is intended to be a specific size. For some of these instructions, NASM needs an explicit specifier: for example,ADD ESP,16
could be interpreted as eitherADD r/m32,imm32
orADD r/m32,imm8
. NASM chooses the former by default, and so you must specifyADD ESP,BYTE 16
for the latter. - Memory references:
mem
denotes a generic memory reference;mem8
,mem16
,mem32
,mem64
andmem80
are used when the operand needs to be a specific size. Again, a specifier is needed in some cases:DEC [address]
is ambiguous and will be rejected by NASM. You must specifyDEC BYTE [address]
,DEC WORD [address]
orDEC DWORD [address]
instead. - Restricted memory references: one form of the
MOV
instruction allows a memory address to be specified without allowing the normal range of register combinations and effective address processing. This is denoted bymemoffs8
,memoffs16
andmemoffs32
. - Register or memory choices: many instructions can accept either a register or a memory reference as an operand.
r/m8
is a shorthand forreg8/mem8
; similarlyr/m16
andr/m32
.r/m64
is MMX-related, and is a shorthand formmxreg/mem64
.
B.2 Key to Opcode Descriptions
This appendix also provides the opcodes which NASM will generate for each form of each instruction. The opcodes are listed in the following way:
- A hex number, such as
3F
, indicates a fixed byte containing that number. - A hex number followed by
+r
, such asC8+r
, indicates that one of the operands to the instruction is a register, and the `register value' of that register should be added to the hex number to produce the generated byte. For example, EDX has register value 2, so the codeC8+r
, when the register operand is EDX, generates the hex byteCA
. Register values for specific registers are given in section B.2.1. - A hex number followed by
+cc
, such as40+cc
, indicates that the instruction name has a condition code suffix, and the numeric representation of the condition code should be added to the hex number to produce the generated byte. For example, the code40+cc
, when the instruction contains theNE
condition, generates the hex byte45
. Condition codes and their numeric representations are given in section B.2.2. - A slash followed by a digit, such as
/2
, indicates that one of the operands to the instruction is a memory address or register (denotedmem
orr/m
, with an optional size). This is to be encoded as an effective address, with a ModR/M byte, an optional SIB byte, and an optional displacement, and the spare (register) field of the ModR/M byte should be the digit given (which will be from 0 to 7, so it fits in three bits). The encoding of effective addresses is given in section B.2.5. - The code
/r
combines the above two: it indicates that one of the operands is a memory address orr/m
, and another is a register, and that an effective address should be generated with the spare (register) field in the ModR/M byte being equal to the `register value' of the register operand. The encoding of effective addresses is given in section B.2.5; register values are given in section B.2.1. - The codes
ib
,iw
andid
indicate that one of the operands to the instruction is an immediate value, and that this is to be encoded as a byte, little-endian word or little-endian doubleword respectively. - The codes
rb
,rw
andrd
indicate that one of the operands to the instruction is an immediate value, and that the difference between this value and the address of the end of the instruction is to be encoded as a byte, word or doubleword respectively. Where the formrw/rd
appears, it indicates that eitherrw
orrd
should be used according to whether assembly is being performed inBITS 16
orBITS 32
state respectively. - The codes
ow
andod
indicate that one of the operands to the instruction is a reference to the contents of a memory address specified as an immediate value: this encoding is used in some forms of theMOV
instruction in place of the standard effective-address mechanism. The displacement is encoded as a word or doubleword. Again,ow/od
denotes thatow
orod
should be chosen according to theBITS
setting. - The codes
o16
ando32
indicate that the given form of the instruction should be assembled with operand size 16 or 32 bits. In other words,o16
indicates a66
prefix inBITS 32
state, but generates no code inBITS 16
state; ando32
indicates a66
prefix inBITS 16
state but generates nothing inBITS 32
. - The codes
a16
anda32
, similarly too16
ando32
, indicate the address size of the given form of the instruction. Where this does not match theBITS
setting, a67
prefix is required.
B.2.1 Register Values
Where an instruction requires a register value, it is already implicit in the encoding of the rest of the instruction what type of register is intended: an 8-bit general-purpose register, a segment register, a debug register, an MMX register, or whatever. Therefore there is no problem with registers of different types sharing an encoding value.
The encodings for the various classes of register are:
- 8-bit general registers:
AL
is 0,CL
is 1,DL
is 2,BL
is 3,AH
is 4,CH
is 5,DH
is 6, andBH
is 7. - 16-bit general registers:
AX
is 0,CX
is 1,DX
is 2,BX
is 3,SP
is 4,BP
is 5,SI
is 6, andDI
is 7. - 32-bit general registers:
EAX
is 0,ECX
is 1,EDX
is 2,EBX
is 3,ESP
is 4,EBP
is 5,ESI
is 6, andEDI
is 7. - Segment registers:
ES
is 0,CS
is 1,SS
is 2,DS
is 3,FS
is 4, andGS
is 5. - Floating-point registers:
ST0
is 0,ST1
is 1,ST2
is 2,ST3
is 3,ST4
is 4,ST5
is 5,ST6
is 6, andST7
is 7. - 64-bit MMX registers:
MM0
is 0,MM1
is 1,MM2
is 2,MM3
is 3,MM4
is 4,MM5
is 5,MM6
is 6, andMM7
is 7. - Control registers:
CR0
is 0,CR2
is 2,CR3
is 3, andCR4
is 4. - Debug registers:
DR0
is 0,DR1
is 1,DR2
is 2,DR3
is 3,DR6
is 6, andDR7
is 7. - Test registers:
TR3
is 3,TR4
is 4,TR5
is 5,TR6
is 6, andTR7
is 7.
(Note that wherever a register name contains a number, that number is also the register value for that register.)
B.2.2 Condition Codes
The available condition codes are given here, along with their numeric representations as part of opcodes. Many of these condition codes have synonyms, so several will be listed at a time.
In the following descriptions, the word `either', when applied to two possible trigger conditions, is used to mean `either or both'. If `either but not both' is meant, the phrase `exactly one of' is used.
O
is 0 (trigger if the overflow flag is set);NO
is 1.B
,C
andNAE
are 2 (trigger if the carry flag is set);AE
,NB
andNC
are 3.E
andZ
are 4 (trigger if the zero flag is set);NE
andNZ
are 5.BE
andNA
are 6 (trigger if either of the carry or zero flags is set);A
andNBE
are 7.S
is 8 (trigger if the sign flag is set);NS
is 9.P
andPE
are 10 (trigger if the parity flag is set);NP
andPO
are 11.L
andNGE
are 12 (trigger if exactly one of the sign and overflow flags is set);GE
andNL
are 13.LE
andNG
are 14 (trigger if either the zero flag is set, or exactly one of the sign and overflow flags is set);G
andNLE
are 15.
Note that in all cases, the sense of a condition code may be reversed by changing the low bit of the numeric representation.
For details of when an instruction sets each of the status flags, see the individual instruction, plus the Status Flags reference in section B.2.4
B.2.3 SSE Condition Predicates
The condition predicates for SSE comparison instructions are the codes used as part of the opcode, to determine what form of comparison is being carried out. In each case, the imm8 value is the final byte of the opcode encoding, and the predicate is the code used as part of the mnemonic for the instruction (equivalent to the "cc" in an integer instruction that used a condition code). The instructions that use this will give details of what the various mnemonics are, this table is used to help you work out details of what is happening.
Predi- imm8 Description Relation where: Emula- Result QNaN cate Encod- A Is 1st Operand tion if NaN Signal ing B Is 2nd Operand Operand Invalid EQ 000B equal A = B False No LT 001B less-than A < B False Yes LE 010B less-than- A <= B False Yes or-equal --- ---- greater A > B Swap False Yes than Operands, Use LT --- ---- greater- A >= B Swap False Yes than-or-equal Operands, Use LE UNORD 011B unordered A, B = Unordered True No NEQ 100B not-equal A != B True No NLT 101B not-less- NOT(A < B) True Yes than NLE 110B not-less- NOT(A <= B) True Yes than-or- equal --- ---- not-greater NOT(A > B) Swap True Yes than Operands, Use NLT --- ---- not-greater NOT(A >= B) Swap True Yes than- Operands, or-equal Use NLE ORD 111B ordered A , B = Ordered False No
The unordered relationship is true when at least one of the two values being compared is a NaN or in an unsupported format.
Note that the comparisons which are listed as not having a predicate or encoding can only be achieved through software emulation, as described in the "emulation" column. Note in particular that an instruction such as
greater-than
is not the same as
NLE
, as, unlike with the
CMP
instruction, it has to take into account the possibility of one operand containing a NaN or an unsupported numeric format.
B.2.4 Status Flags
The status flags provide some information about the result of the arithmetic instructions. This information can be used by conditional instructions (such a
Jcc
and
CMOVcc
) as well as by some of the other instructions (such as
ADC
and
INTO
).
There are 6 status flags:
CF - Carry flag.
Set if an arithmetic operation generates a carry or a borrow out of the most-significant bit of the result; cleared otherwise. This flag indicates an overflow condition for unsigned-integer arithmetic. It is also used in multiple-precision arithmetic.
PF - Parity flag.
Set if the least-significant byte of the result contains an even number of 1 bits; cleared otherwise.
AF - Adjust flag.
Set if an arithmetic operation generates a carry or a borrow out of bit 3 of the result; cleared otherwise. This flag is used in binary-coded decimal (BCD) arithmetic.
ZF - Zero flag.
Set if the result is zero; cleared otherwise.
SF - Sign flag.
Set equal to the most-significant bit of the result, which is the sign bit of a signed integer. (0 indicates a positive value and 1 indicates a negative value.)
OF - Overflow flag.
Set if the integer result is too large a positive number or too small a negative number (excluding the sign-bit) to fit in the destination operand; cleared otherwise. This flag indicates an overflow condition for signed-integer (two's complement) arithmetic.
B.2.5 Effective Address Encoding: ModR/M and SIB
An effective address is encoded in up to three parts: a ModR/M byte, an optional SIB byte, and an optional byte, word or doubleword displacement field.
The ModR/M byte consists of three fields: the
mod
field, ranging from 0 to 3, in the upper two bits of the byte, the
r/m
field, ranging from 0 to 7, in the lower three bits, and the spare (register) field in the middle (bit 3 to bit 5). The spare field is not relevant to the effective address being encoded, and either contains an extension to the instruction opcode or the register value of another operand.
The ModR/M system can be used to encode a direct register reference rather than a memory access. This is always done by setting the
mod
field to 3 and the
r/m
field to the register value of the register in question (it must be a general-purpose register, and the size of the register must already be implicit in the encoding of the rest of the instruction). In this case, the SIB byte and displacement field are both absent.
In 16-bit addressing mode (either
BITS 16
with no
67
prefix, or
BITS 32
with a
67
prefix), the SIB byte is never used. The general rules for
mod
and
r/m
(there is an exception, given below) are:
- The
mod
field gives the length of the displacement field: 0 means no displacement, 1 means one byte, and 2 means two bytes. - The
r/m
field encodes the combination of registers to be added to the displacement to give the accessed address: 0 meansBX+SI
, 1 meansBX+DI
, 2 meansBP+SI
, 3 meansBP+DI
, 4 meansSI
only, 5 meansDI
only, 6 meansBP
only, and 7 meansBX
only.
However, there is a special case:
- If
mod
is 0 andr/m
is 6, the effective address encoded is not[BP]
as the above rules would suggest, but instead[disp16]
: the displacement field is present and is two bytes long, and no registers are added to the displacement.
Therefore the effective address
[BP]
cannot be encoded as efficiently as
[BX]
; so if you code
[BP]
in a program, NASM adds a notional 8-bit zero displacement, and sets
mod
to 1,
r/m
to 6, and the one-byte displacement field to 0.
In 32-bit addressing mode (either
BITS 16
with a
67
prefix, or
BITS 32
with no
67
prefix) the general rules (again, there are exceptions) for
mod
and
r/m
are:
- The
mod
field gives the length of the displacement field: 0 means no displacement, 1 means one byte, and 2 means four bytes. - If only one register is to be added to the displacement, and it is not
ESP
, ther/m
field gives its register value, and the SIB byte is absent. If ther/m
field is 4 (which would encodeESP
), the SIB byte is present and gives the combination and scaling of registers to be added to the displacement.
If the SIB byte is present, it describes the combination of registers (an optional base register, and an optional index register scaled by multiplication by 1, 2, 4 or 8) to be added to the displacement. The SIB byte is divided into the
scale
field, in the top two bits, the
index
field in the next three, and the
base
field in the bottom three. The general rules are:
- The
base
field encodes the register value of the base register. - The
index
field encodes the register value of the index register, unless it is 4, in which case no index register is used (soESP
cannot be used as an index register). - The
scale
field encodes the multiplier by which the index register is scaled before adding it to the base and displacement: 0 encodes a multiplier of 1, 1 encodes 2, 2 encodes 4 and 3 encodes 8.
The exceptions to the 32-bit encoding rules are:
- If
mod
is 0 andr/m
is 5, the effective address encoded is not[EBP]
as the above rules would suggest, but instead[disp32]
: the displacement field is present and is four bytes long, and no registers are added to the displacement. - If
mod
is 0,r/m
is 4 (meaning the SIB byte is present) andbase
is 4, the effective address encoded is not[EBP+index]
as the above rules would suggest, but instead[disp32+index]
: the displacement field is present and is four bytes long, and there is no base register (but the index register is still processed in the normal way).
B.3 Key to Instruction Flags
Given along with each instruction in this appendix is a set of flags, denoting the type of the instruction. The types are as follows:
8086
,186
,286
,386
,486
,PENT
andP6
denote the lowest processor type that supports the instruction. Most instructions run on all processors above the given type; those that do not are documented. The Pentium II contains no additional instructions beyond the P6 (Pentium Pro); from the point of view of its instruction set, it can be thought of as a P6 with MMX capability.3DNOW
indicates that the instruction is a 3DNow! one, and will run on the AMD K6-2 and later processors. ATHLON extensions to the 3DNow! instruction set are documented as such.CYRIX
indicates that the instruction is specific to Cyrix processors, for example the extra MMX instructions in the Cyrix extended MMX instruction set.FPU
indicates that the instruction is a floating-point one, and will only run on machines with a coprocessor (automatically including 486DX, Pentium and above).KATMAI
indicates that the instruction was introduced as part of the Katmai New Instruction set. These instructions are available on the Pentium III and later processors. Those which are not specifically SSE instructions are also available on the AMD Athlon.MMX
indicates that the instruction is an MMX one, and will run on MMX-capable Pentium processors and the Pentium II.PRIV
indicates that the instruction is a protected-mode management instruction. Many of these may only be used in protected mode, or only at privilege level zero.SSE
andSSE2
indicate that the instruction is a Streaming SIMD Extension instruction. These instructions operate on multiple values in a single operation. SSE was introduced with the Pentium III and SSE2 was introduced with the Pentium 4.UNDOC
indicates that the instruction is an undocumented one, and not part of the official Intel Architecture; it may or may not be supported on any given machine.WILLAMETTE
indicates that the instruction was introduced as part of the new instruction set in the Pentium 4 and Intel Xeon processors. These instructions are also known as SSE2 instructions.
B.4 x86 Instruction Set
B.4.1
AAA
,
AAS
,
AAM
,
AAD
: ASCII Adjustments
AAA ; 37 [8086]
AAS ; 3F [8086]
AAD ; D5 0A [8086] AAD imm ; D5 ib [8086]
AAM ; D4 0A [8086] AAM imm ; D4 ib [8086]
These instructions are used in conjunction with the add, subtract, multiply and divide instructions to perform binary-coded decimal arithmetic in unpacked (one BCD digit per byte - easy to translate to and from
ASCII
, hence the instruction names) form. There are also packed BCD instructions
DAA
and
DAS
: see section B.4.57.
AAA
(ASCII Adjust After Addition) should be used after a one-byteADD
instruction whose destination was theAL
register: by means of examining the value in the low nibble ofAL
and also the auxiliary carry flagAF
, it determines whether the addition has overflowed, and adjusts it (and sets the carry flag) if so. You can add long BCD strings together by doingADD
/AAA
on the low digits, then doingADC
/AAA
on each subsequent digit.AAS
(ASCII Adjust AL After Subtraction) works similarly toAAA
, but is for use afterSUB
instructions rather thanADD
.AAM
(ASCII Adjust AX After Multiply) is for use after you have multiplied two decimal digits together and left the result inAL
: it dividesAL
by ten and stores the quotient inAH
, leaving the remainder inAL
. The divisor 10 can be changed by specifying an operand to the instruction: a particularly handy use of this isAAM 16
, causing the two nibbles inAL
to be separated intoAH
andAL
.AAD
(ASCII Adjust AX Before Division) performs the inverse operation toAAM
: it multipliesAH
by ten, adds it toAL
, and setsAH
to zero. Again, the multiplier 10 can be changed.
B.4.2
ADC
: Add with Carry
ADC r/m8,reg8 ; 10 /r [8086] ADC r/m16,reg16 ; o16 11 /r [8086] ADC r/m32,reg32 ; o32 11 /r [386]
ADC reg8,r/m8 ; 12 /r [8086] ADC reg16,r/m16 ; o16 13 /r [8086] ADC reg32,r/m32 ; o32 13 /r [386]

ADC r/m16,imm8 ; o16 83 /2 ib [8086] ADC r/m32,imm8 ; o32 83 /2 ib [386]
ADC AL,imm8 ; 14 ib [8086] ADC AX,imm16 ; o16 15 iw [8086] ADC EAX,imm32 ; o32 15 id [386]
ADC
performs integer addition: it adds its two operands together, plus the value of the carry flag, and leaves the result in its destination (first) operand. The destination operand can be a register or a memory location. The source operand can be a register, a memory location or an immediate value.
The flags are set according to the result of the operation: in particular, the carry flag is affected and can be used by a subsequent
ADC
instruction.
In the forms with an 8-bit immediate second operand and a longer first operand, the second operand is considered to be signed, and is sign-extended to the length of the first operand. In these cases, the
BYTE
qualifier is necessary to force NASM to generate this form of the instruction.
To add two numbers without also adding the contents of the carry flag, use
ADD
(section B.4.3).

The flags are set according to the result of the operation: in particular, the carry flag is affected and can be used by a subsequent
ADC
instruction.
In the forms with an 8-bit immediate second operand and a longer first operand, the second operand is considered to be signed, and is sign-extended to the length of the first operand. In these cases, the
BYTE
qualifier is necessary to force NASM to generate this form of the instruction.

ADDSD
adds the low double-precision FP values from the source and destination operands and stores the double-precision FP result in the destination operand.
dst[0-63] := dst[0-63] + src[0-63], dst[64-127) remains unchanged.
The destination is an
XMM
register. The source operand can be either an
XMM
register or a 64-bit memory location.

dst[0-31] := dst[0-31] + src[0-31], dst[32-127] remains unchanged.
The destination is an
XMM

The destination operand can be a register or a memory location. The source operand can be a register, a memory location or an immediate value.
In the forms with an 8-bit immediate second operand and a longer first operand, the second operand is considered to be signed, and is sign-extended to the length of the first operand. In these cases, the

(see section B.4.202) performs the same operation on the 64-bit
MMX
registers.
B.4.9
ANDNPD
: Bitwise Logical AND NOT of Packed Double-Precision FP Values
ANDNPD xmm1,xmm2/mem128 ; 66 0F 55 /r [WILLAMETTE,SSE2]
ANDNPD
inverts the bits of the two double-precision floating-point values in the destination register, and then performs a logical AND between the two double-precision floating-point values in the source operand and the temporary inverted result, storing the result in the destination register.
dst[0-63] := src[0-63] AND NOT dst[0-63], dst[64-127] := src[64-127] AND NOT dst[64-127].
The destination is an
XMM
register. The source operand can be either an
XMM
register or a 128-bit memory location.
B.4.10
ANDNPS
: Bitwise Logical AND NOT of Packed Single-Precision FP Values
ANDNPS xmm1,xmm2/mem128 ; 0F 55 /r [KATMAI,SSE]
ANDNPS
inverts the bits of the four single-precision floating-point values in the destination register, and then performs a logical AND between the four single-precision floating-point values in the source operand and the temporary inverted result, storing the result in the destination register.
dst[0-31] := src[0-31] AND NOT dst[0-31], dst[32-63] := src[32-63] AND NOT dst[32-63], dst[64-95] := src[64-95] AND NOT dst[64-95], dst[96-127] := src[96-127] AND NOT dst[96-127].
The destination is an
XMM
register. The source operand can be either an
XMM
register or a 128-bit memory location.
B.4.11
ANDPD
: Bitwise Logical AND For Single FP
ANDPD xmm1,xmm2/mem128 ; 66 0F 54 /r [WILLAMETTE,SSE2]
ANDPD
performs a bitwise logical AND of the two double-precision floating point values in the source and destination operand, and stores the result in the destination register.
dst[0-63] := src[0-63] AND dst[0-63], dst[64-127] := src[64-127] AND dst[64-127].
The destination is an
XMM

B.4.12
ANDPS
: Bitwise Logical AND For Single FP
ANDPS xmm1,xmm2/mem128 ; 0F 54 /r [KATMAI,SSE]
ANDPS
performs a bitwise logical AND of the four single-precision floating point values in the source and destination operand, and stores the result in the destination register.
dst[0-31] := src[0-31] AND dst[0-31], dst[32-63] := src[32-63] AND dst[32-63], dst[64-95] := src[64-95] AND dst[64-95], dst[96-127] := src[96-127] AND dst[96-127].
The destination is an
XMM
register. The source operand can be either an
XMM
register or a 128-bit memory location.
B.4.13
ARPL
: Adjust RPL Field of Selector
ARPL r/m16,reg16 ; 63 /r [286,PRIV]
ARPL
expects its two word operands to be segment selectors. It adjusts the
RPL
(requested privilege level - stored in the bottom two bits of the selector) field of the destination (first) operand to ensure that it is no less (i.e. no more privileged than) the
RPL
field of the source operand. The zero flag is set if and only if a change had to be made.
B.4.14
BOUND
: Check Array Index against Bounds
BOUND reg16,mem ; o16 62 /r [186] BOUND reg32,mem ; o32 62 /r [386]
BOUND
expects its second operand to point to an area of memory containing two signed values of the same size as its first operand (i.e. two words for the 16-bit form; two doublewords for the 32-bit form). It performs two signed comparisons: if the value in the register passed as its first operand is less than the first of the in-memory values, or is greater than or equal to the second, it throws a
BR
exception. Otherwise, it does nothing.
B.4.15
BSF

BSR
: Bit Scan
BSF reg16,r/m16 ; o16 0F BC /r [386] BSF reg32,r/m32 ; o32 0F BC /r [386]
BSR reg16,r/m16 ; o16 0F BD /r [386] BSR reg32,r/m32 ; o32 0F BD /r [386]
BSF
searches for the least significant set bit in its source (second) operand, and if it finds one, stores the index in its destination (first) operand. If no set bit is found, the contents of the destination operand are undefined. If the source operand is zero, the zero flag is set.BSR
performs the same function, but searches from the top instead, so it finds the most significant set bit.
Bit indices are from 0 (least significant) to 15 or 31 (most significant). The destination operand can only be a register. The source operand can be a register or a memory location.
B.4.16
BSWAP
: Byte Swap
BSWAP reg32 ; o32 0F C8+r [486]
BSWAP
swaps the order of the four bytes of a 32-bit register: bits 0-7 exchange places with bits 24-31, and bits 8-15 swap with bits 16-23. There is no explicit 16-bit equivalent: to byte-swap
AX
,
BX
,
CX
or
DX
,
XCHG
can be used. When
BSWAP
is used with a 16-bit register, the result is undefined.

These instructions all test one bit of their first operand, whose index is given by the second operand, and store the value of that bit into the carry flag. Bit indices are from 0 (least significant) to 15 or 31 (most significant).
In addition to storing the original value of the bit into the carry flag,
BTR
also resets (clears) the bit in the operand itself.
BTS
sets the bit, and
BTC
complements the bit.
BT
does not modify its operands.
The destination can be a register or a memory location. The source can be a register or an immediate value.
If the destination operand is a register, the bit offset should be in the range 0-15 (for 16-bit operands) or 0-31 (for 32-bit operands). An immediate value outside these ranges will be taken modulo 16/32 by the processor.
If the destination operand is a memory location, then an immediate bit offset follows the same rules as for a register. If the bit offset is in a register, then it can be anything within the signed range of the register used (ie, for a 32-bit operand, it can be (-2^31) to (2^31 - 1)
B.4.18
CALL
: Call Subroutine
CALL imm ; E8 rw/rd [8086] CALL imm:imm16 ; o16 9A iw iw [8086] CALL imm:imm32 ; o32 9A id iw [386] CALL FAR mem16 ; o16 FF /3 [8086] CALL FAR mem32 ; o32 FF /3 [386] CALL r/m16 ; o16 FF /2 [8086] CALL r/m32 ; o32 FF /2 [386]
CALL
calls a subroutine, by means of pushing the current instruction pointer (
IP
) and optionally
CS
as well on the stack, and then jumping to a given address.
CS
is pushed as well as
IP
if and only if the call is a far call, i.e. a destination segment address is specified in the instruction. The forms involving two colon-separated arguments are far calls; so are the
CALL FAR mem
forms.
The immediate near call takes one of two forms (
call imm16/imm32
, determined by the current segment size limit. For 16-bit operands, you would use
CALL 0x1234
, and for 32-bit operands you would use
CALL 0x12345678
. The value passed as an operand is a relative offset.
You can choose between the two immediate far call forms (
CALL imm:imm
) by the use of the
WORD
and
DWORD
keywords:
CALL WORD 0x1234:0x5678
) or
CALL DWORD 0x1234:0x56789abc
.
The
CALL FAR mem
forms execute a far call by loading the destination address out of memory. The address loaded consists of 16 or 32 bits of offset (depending on the operand size), and 16 bits of segment. The operand size may be overridden using
CALL WORD FAR mem
or
CALL DWORD FAR mem
.
The
CALL r/m
forms execute a near call (within the same segment), loading the destination address out of memory or out of a register. The keyword
NEAR
may be specified, for clarity, in these forms, but is not necessary. Again, operand size can be overridden using
CALL WORD mem
or
CALL DWORD mem
.
As a convenience, NASM does not require you to call a far procedure symbol by coding the cumbersome
CALL SEG routine:routine
, but instead allows the easier synonym
CALL FAR routine
.
The
CALL r/m
forms given above are near calls; NASM will accept the
NEAR
keyword (e.g.
CALL NEAR [address]
), even though it is not strictly necessary.

CLI
,
CLTS
: Clear Flags
CLC ; F8 [8086] CLD ; FC [8086] CLI ; FA [8086] CLTS ; 0F 06 [286,PRIV]
These instructions clear various flags.
CLC
clears the carry flag;
CLD
clears the direction flag;
CLI
clears the interrupt flag (thus disabling interrupts); and
CLTS
clears the task-switched (
TS
) flag in
CR0
.
To set the carry, direction, or interrupt flags, use the
STC
,
STD
and
STI
instructions (section B.4.301). To invert the carry flag, use
CMC
(section B.4.22).
B.4.21
CLFLUSH
: Flush Cache Line
CLFLUSH mem ; 0F AE /7 [WILLAMETTE,SSE2]
CLFLUSH
invalidates the cache line that contains the linear address specified by the source operand from all levels of the processor cache hierarchy (data and instruction). If, at any level of the cache hierarchy, the line is inconsistent with memory (dirty) it is written to memory before invalidation. The source operand points to a byte-sized memory location.
Although
CLFLUSH
is flagged
SSE2
and above, it may not be present on all processors which have
SSE2
support, and it may be supported on other processors; the
CPUID
instruction (section B.4.34) will return a bit which indicates support for the
CLFLUSH
instruction.
B.4.22
CMC
: Complement Carry Flag
CMC ; F5 [8086]
CMC
changes the value of the carry flag: if it was 0, it sets it to 1, and vice versa.
B.4.23
CMOVcc
: Conditional Move
CMOVcc reg16,r/m16 ; o16 0F 40+cc /r [P6] CMOVcc reg32,r/m32 ; o32 0F 40+cc /r [P6]
CMOV
moves its source (second) operand into its destination (first) operand if the given condition code is satisfied; otherwise it does nothing.
For a list of condition codes, see section B.2.2.
Although the
CMOV
instructions are flagged
P6
and above, they may not be supported by all Pentium Pro processors; the
CPUID
instruction (section B.4.34) will return a bit which indicates whether conditional moves are supported.

CMP AL,imm8 ; 3C ib [8086] CMP AX,imm16 ; o16 3D iw [8086] CMP EAX,imm32 ; o32 3D id [386]
CMP
performs a `mental' subtraction of its second operand from its first operand, and affects the flags as if the subtraction had taken place, but does not store the result of the subtraction anywhere.
In the forms with an 8-bit immediate second operand and a longer first operand, the second operand is considered to be signed, and is sign-extended to the length of the first operand. In these cases, the
BYTE
qualifier is necessary to force NASM to generate this form of the instruction.
The destination operand can be a register or a memory location. The source can be a register, memory location or an immediate value of the same size as the destination.

The
CMPccPD
instructions compare the two packed double-precision FP values in the source and destination operands, and returns the result of the comparison in the destination register. The result of each comparison is a quadword mask of all 1s (comparison true) or all 0s (comparison false).
The destination is an
XMM
register. The source can be either an
XMM
register or a 128-bit memory location.
The third operand is an 8-bit immediate value, of which the low 3 bits define the type of comparison. For ease of programming, the 8 two-operand pseudo-instructions are provided, with the third operand already filled in. The
Condition Predicates
are:

,
CMPSW
,
CMPSD
: Compare Strings
CMPSB ; A6 [8086] CMPSW ; o16 A7 [8086] CMPSD ; o32 A7 [386]
CMPSB
compares the byte at
[DS:SI]
or
[DS:ESI]
with the byte at
[ES:DI]
or
[ES:EDI]
, and sets the flags accordingly. It then increments or decrements (depending on the direction flag: increments if the flag is clear, decrements if it is set)
SI
and
DI
(or
ESI
and
EDI
).
The registers used are
SI
and
DI
if the address size is 16 bits, and
ESI
and
EDI
if it is 32 bits. If you need to use an address size not equal to the current
BITS
setting, you can use an explicit
a16
or
a32
prefix.
The segment register used to load from
[SI]
or
[ESI]
can be overridden by using a segment register name as a prefix (for example,
ES CMPSB
). The use of
ES
for the load from
[DI]
or
[EDI]
cannot be overridden.
CMPSW
and
CMPSD
work in the same way, but they compare a word or a doubleword instead of a byte, and increment or decrement the addressing registers by 2 or 4 instead of 1.
The
REPE
and
REPNE
prefixes (equivalently,
REPZ
and
REPNZ
) may be used to repeat the instruction up to
CX
(or
ECX
- again, the address size chooses which) times until the first unequal or equal byte is found.

instructions compare the low-order double-precision FP values in the source and destination operands, and returns the result of the comparison in the destination register. The result of each comparison is a quadword mask of all 1s (comparison true) or all 0s (comparison false).
The destination is an

CMPXCHG

CMPXCHG486

CMPXCHG r/m8,reg8 ; 0F B0 /r [PENT] CMPXCHG r/m16,reg16 ; o16 0F B1 /r [PENT] CMPXCHG r/m32,reg32 ; o32 0F B1 /r [PENT]

These two instructions perform exactly the same operation; however, apparently some (not all) 486 processors support it under a non-standard opcode, so NASM provides the undocumented
CMPXCHG486
form to generate the non-standard opcode.
CMPXCHG
compares its destination (first) operand to the value in
AL
,
AX
or
EAX
(depending on the operand size of the instruction). If they are equal, it copies its source (second) operand into the destination and sets the zero flag. Otherwise, it clears the zero flag and copies the destination register to AL, AX or EAX.
The destination can be either a register or a memory location. The source is a register.
CMPXCHG
is intended to be used for atomic operations in multitasking or multiprocessor environments. To safely update a value in shared memory, for example, you might load the value into
EAX
, load the updated value into
EBX
, and then execute the instruction
LOCK CMPXCHG [value],EBX
. If
value
has not changed since being loaded, it is updated with your desired new value, and the zero flag is set to let you know it has worked. (The
LOCK
prefix prevents another processor doing anything in the middle of this operation: it guarantees atomicity.) However, if another processor has modified the value in between your load and your attempted store, the store does not happen, and you are notified of the failure by a cleared zero flag, so you can go round and try again.
B.4.31
CMPXCHG8B
: Compare and Exchange Eight Bytes
CMPXCHG8B mem ; 0F C7 /1 [PENT]
This is a larger and more unwieldy version of
CMPXCHG
: it compares the 64-bit (eight-byte) value stored at
[mem]
with the value in
EDX:EAX
. If they are equal, it sets the zero flag and stores
ECX:EBX
into the memory area. If they are unequal, it clears the zero flag and stores the memory contents into
EDX:EAX
.
CMPXCHG8B
can be used with the
LOCK
prefix, to allow atomic execution. This is useful in multi-processor and multi-tasking environments.

CPUID
: Get CPU Identification Code
CPUID ; 0F A2 [PENT]
CPUID
returns various information about the processor it is being executed on. It fills the four registers
EAX
,
EBX
,
ECX
and
EDX
with information, which varies depending on the input contents of
EAX
.
CPUID
also acts as a barrier to serialise instruction execution: executing the
CPUID
instruction guarantees that all the effects (memory modification, flag modification, register modification) of previous instructions have been completed before the next instruction gets fetched.
The information returned is as follows:
- If
EAX
is zero on input,EAX
on output holds the maximum acceptable input value ofEAX
, andEBX:EDX:ECX
contain the string"GenuineIntel"
(or not, if you have a clone processor). That is to say,EBX
contains"Genu"
(in NASM's own sense of character constants, described in section 3.4.2),EDX
contains"ineI"
andECX
contains"ntel"
. - If
EAX
is one on input,EAX
on output contains version information about the processor, andEDX
contains a set of feature flags, showing the presence and absence of various features. For example, bit 8 is set if theCMPXCHG8B
instruction (section B.4.31) is supported, bit 15 is set if the conditional move instructions (section B.4.23 and section B.4.72) are supported, and bit 23 is set ifMMX
instructions are supported. - If
EAX
is two on input,EAX
,EBX
,ECX
andEDX
all contain information about caches and TLBs (Translation Lookahead Buffers).

CPUID
, see the documentation from Intel and other processor manufacturers.

DAA
,
DAS
: Decimal Adjustments
DAA ; 27 [8086] DAS ; 2F [8086]
These instructions are used in conjunction with the add and subtract instructions to perform binary-coded decimal arithmetic in packed (one BCD digit per nibble) form. For the unpacked equivalents, see section B.4.1.
DAA
should be used after a one-byte
ADD
instruction whose destination was the
AL
register: by means of examining the value in the
AL
and also the auxiliary carry flag
AF
, it determines whether either digit of the addition has overflowed, and adjusts it (and sets the carry and auxiliary-carry flags) if so. You can add long BCD strings together by doing
ADD
/
DAA
on the low two digits, then doing
ADC
/
DAA
on each subsequent pair of digits.
DAS
works similarly to
DAA
, but is for use after
SUB
instructions rather than
ADD
.
B.4.58

affects all the other flags according to the result.
This instruction can be used with a
LOCK
prefix to allow atomic execution.

EMMS
: Empty MMX State
EMMS ; 0F 77 [PENT,MMX]
EMMS
sets the FPU tag word (marking which floating-point registers are available) to all ones, meaning all registers are available for the FPU to use. It should be used after executing
MMX
instructions and before executing any subsequent floating-point operations.
B.4.65
ENTER
: Create Stack Frame
ENTER imm,imm ; C8 iw ib [186]
ENTER
constructs a
stack frame
for a high-level language procedure call. The first operand (the
iw
in the opcode definition above refers to the first operand) gives the amount of stack space to allocate for local variables; the second (the
ib
above) gives the nesting level of the procedure (for languages like Pascal, with nested procedures).
The function of
ENTER
, with a nesting level of zero, is equivalent to
PUSH EBP ; or PUSH BP in 16 bits MOV EBP,ESP ; or MOV BP,SP in 16 bits SUB ESP,operand1 ; or SUB SP,operand1 in 16 bits
This creates a stack frame with the procedure parameters accessible upwards from
EBP
, and local variables accessible downwards from
EBP
.
With a nesting level of one, the stack frame created is 4 (or 2) bytes bigger, and the value of the final frame pointer
EBP
is accessible in memory at
[EBP-4]
.
This allows
ENTER
, when called with a nesting level of two, to look at the stack frame described by the previous value of
EBP
, find the frame pointer at offset -4 from that, and push it along with its new frame pointer, so that when a level-two procedure is called from within a level-one procedure,
[EBP-4]
holds the frame pointer of the most recent level-one procedure call and
[EBP-8]
holds that of the most recent level-two call. And so on, for nesting levels up to 31.
Stack frames created by
ENTER
can be destroyed by the
LEAVE
instruction: see section B.4.136.

and stores the result back inST0
. If the operand has theTO
modifier, the result is stored in the register given rather than inST0
.FADDP
performs the same function asFADD TO
, but pops the register stack after storing the result.
The given two-operand forms are synonyms for the one-operand forms.
To add an integer value to
ST0
, use the c{FIADD} instruction (section B.4.80)
B.4.69

FCMOVcc
: Floating-Point Conditional Move
FCMOVB fpureg ; DA C0+r [P6,FPU] FCMOVB ST0,fpureg ; DA C0+r [P6,FPU]
FCMOVE fpureg ; DA C8+r [P6,FPU] FCMOVE ST0,fpureg ; DA C8+r [P6,FPU]

FCMOVNU fpureg ; DB D8+r [P6,FPU] FCMOVNU ST0,fpureg ; DB D8+r [P6,FPU]
The
FCMOV
instructions perform conditional move operations: each of them moves the contents of the given register into
ST0
if its condition is satisfied, and does nothing if not.
The conditions are not the same as the standard condition codes used with conditional jump instructions. The conditions
B
,
BE
,
NB
,
NBE
,
E
and
NE
are exactly as normal, but none of the other standard ones are supported. Instead, the condition
U
and its counterpart
NU
are provided; the
U
condition is satisfied if the last two floating-point numbers compared were unordered, i.e. they were not equal but neither one could be said to be greater than the other, for example if they were NaNs. (The flag state which signals this is the setting of the parity flag: so the
U
condition is notionally equivalent to
PE
, and
NU
is equivalent to
PO
.)
The
FCMOV
conditions test the main processor's status flags, not the FPU status flags, so using
FCMOV
directly after
FCOM
will not work. Instead, you should either use
FCOMI
which writes directly to the main CPU flags word, or use
FSTSW
to extract the FPU flags.
Although the
FCMOV
instructions are flagged
P6

FCOMIP fpureg ; DF F0+r [P6,FPU] FCOMIP ST0,fpureg ; DF F0+r [P6,FPU]
FCOM
compares
ST0
with the given operand, and sets the FPU flags accordingly.
ST0
is treated as the left-hand side of the comparison, so that the carry flag is set (for a `less-than' result) if
ST0
is less than the given operand.
FCOMP
does the same as
FCOM
, but pops the register stack afterwards.
FCOMPP
compares
ST0
with
ST1
and then pops the register stack twice.
FCOMI
and
FCOMIP
work like the corresponding forms of
FCOM
and
FCOMP
, but write their results directly to the CPU flags register rather than the FPU status word, so they can be immediately followed by conditional jump or conditional move instructions.
The
FCOM
instructions differ from the
FUCOM
instructions (section B.4.108) only in the way they handle quiet NaNs:
FUCOM
will handle them silently and set the condition code flags to an `unordered' result, whereas
FCOM
will generate an exception.
B.4.74
FCOS
: Cosine
FCOS ; D9 FF [386,FPU]
FCOS
computes the cosine of
ST0
(in radians), and stores the result in
ST0
. The absolute value of
ST0
must be less than 2**63.

(section B.4.100).
B.4.75
FDECSTP
: Decrement Floating-Point Stack Pointer
FDECSTP ; D9 F6 [8086,FPU]
FDECSTP
decrements the `top' field in the floating-point status word. This has the effect of rotating the FPU register stack by one, as if the contents of
ST7
had been pushed on the stack. See also
FINCSTP
(section B.4.85).

FENI ; 9B DB E0 [8086,FPU] FNENI ; DB E0 [8086,FPU]
FDISI
and
FENI
disable and enable floating-point interrupts. These instructions are only meaningful on original 8087 processors: the 287 and above treat them as no-operation instructions.
FNDISI
and
FNENI
do the same thing as
FDISI
and
FENI
respectively, but without waiting for the floating-point processor to finish what it was doing first.

FDIVRP fpureg ; DE F0+r [8086,FPU] FDIVRP fpureg,ST0 ; DE F0+r [8086,FPU]
FDIV
dividesST0
by the given operand and stores the result back inST0
, unless theTO
qualifier is given, in which case it divides the given operand byST0
and stores the result in the operand.FDIVR
does the same thing, but does the division the other way up: so ifTO
is not given, it divides the given operand byST0
and stores the result inST0
, whereas ifTO
is given it dividesST0
by its operand and stores the result in the operand.FDIVP
operates likeFDIV TO
, but pops the register stack once it has finished.FDIVRP
operates likeFDIVR TO
, but pops the register stack once it has finished.

(section B.4.82).
B.4.78
FEMMS
: Faster Enter/Exit of the MMX or floating-point state
FEMMS ; 0F 0E [PENT,3DNOW]
FEMMS
can be used in place of the
EMMS
instruction on processors which support the 3DNow! instruction set. Following execution of
FEMMS
, the state of the
MMX/FP
registers is undefined, and this allows a faster context switch between
FP
and
MMX
instructions. The
FEMMS
instruction can also be used before executing
MMX
instructions

FIDIV
divides

.
B.4.85
FINCSTP
: Increment Floating-Point Stack Pointer
FINCSTP ; D9 F7 [8086,FPU]
FINCSTP
increments the `top' field in the floating-point status word. This has the effect of rotating the FPU register stack by one, as if the register stack had been popped; however, unlike the popping of the stack performed by many FPU instructions, it does not flag the new
ST7
(previously
ST0
) as empty. See also
FDECSTP

B.4.86
FINIT
,
FNINIT
: Initialise Floating-Point Unit

ST0
, and stores the result in
ST0
.
FISUBR
does the subtraction the other way round, i.e. it subtracts
ST0
from the given integer, but still stores the result in
ST0
.

FLDCW
: Load Floating-Point Control Word
FLDCW mem16 ; D9 /5 [8086,FPU]
FLDCW
loads a 16-bit value out of memory and stores it into the FPU control word (governing things like the rounding mode, the precision, and the exception masks). See also
FSTCW
(section B.4.103). If exceptions are enabled and you don't want to generate one, use
FCLEX
or
FNCLEX
(section B.4.71) before loading the new control word.
B.4.91
FLDENV
: Load Floating-Point Environment
FLDENV mem ; D9 /4 [8086,FPU]
FLDENV
loads the FPU operating environment (control word, status word, tag word, instruction pointer, data pointer and last opcode) from memory. The memory area is 14 or 28 bytes long, depending on the CPU mode at the time. See also
FSTENV
(section B.4.104).

ST0
, unless the
TO
qualifier is used in which case it stores the result in the operand.

performs the same operation as
FMUL TO
, and then pops the register stack.
B.4.93
FNOP

FNOP ; D9 D0 [8086,FPU]
FNOP
does nothing.

FPATAN
,
FPTAN
: Arctangent and Tangent
FPATAN ; D9 F3 [8086,FPU] FPTAN ; D9 F2 [8086,FPU]
FPATAN
computes the arctangent, in radians, of the result of dividing
ST1
by
ST0
, stores the result in
ST1
, and pops the register stack. It works like the C
atan2
function, in that changing the sign of both
ST0
and
ST1
changes the output value by pi (so it performs true rectangular-to-polar coordinate conversion, with
ST1
being the Y coordinate and
ST0
being the X coordinate, not merely an arctangent).
FPTAN
computes the tangent of the value in
ST0
(in radians), and stores the result back into
ST0
.
The absolute value of
ST0
must be less than 2**63.
B.4.95
FPREM
,
FPREM1
: Floating-Point Partial Remainder
FPREM ; D9 F8 [8086,FPU] FPREM1 ; D9 F5 [386,FPU]
These instructions both produce the remainder obtained by dividing
ST0
by
ST1
. This is calculated, notionally, by dividing
ST0
by
ST1
, rounding the result to an integer, multiplying by
ST1
again, and computing the value which would need to be added back on to the result to get back to the original value in
ST0
.
The two instructions differ in the way the notional round-to-integer operation is performed.
FPREM
does it by rounding towards zero, so that the remainder it returns always has the same sign as the original value in
ST0
;
FPREM1
does it by rounding to the nearest integer, so that the remainder always has at most half the magnitude of
ST1
.
Both instructions calculate partial remainders, meaning that they may not manage to provide the final result, but might leave intermediate results in
ST0
instead. If this happens, they will set the C2 flag in the FPU status word; therefore, to calculate a remainder, you should repeatedly execute
FPREM
or
FPREM1
until C2 becomes clear.
B.4.96
FRNDINT
: Floating-Point Round to Integer
FRNDINT ; D9 FC [8086,FPU]

: Scale Floating-Point Value by Power of Two
FSCALE ; D9 FD [8086,FPU]

ST1
towards zero to obtain an integer, then multiplies
ST0
by two to the power of that integer, and stores the result in
ST0
.
B.4.99
FSETPM
: Set Protected Mode
FSETPM ; DB E4 [286,FPU]
This instruction initialises protected mode on the 287 floating-point coprocessor. It is only meaningful on that processor: the 387 and above treat the instruction as a no-operation.

,
FSINCOS
: Sine and Cosine
FSIN ; D9 FE [386,FPU] FSINCOS ; D9 FB [386,FPU]
FSIN
calculates the sine of
ST0
(in radians) and stores the result in
ST0
.
FSINCOS
does the same, but then pushes the cosine of the same value on the register stack, so that the sine ends up in
ST1
and the cosine in
ST0
.
FSINCOS
is faster than executing
FSIN
and
FCOS
(see section B.4.74) in succession.
The absolute value of
ST0
must be less than 2**63.
B.4.101

FSUB
subtracts the given operand fromST0
and stores the result back inST0
, unless theTO
qualifier is given, in which case it subtractsST0
from the given operand and stores the result in the operand.FSUBR
does the same thing, but does the subtraction the other way up: so ifTO
is not given, it subtractsST0
from the given operand and stores the result inST0
, whereas ifTO
is given it subtracts its operand fromST0
and stores the result in the operand.FSUBP
operates likeFSUB TO

FUCOM
comparesST0
with the given operand, and sets the FPU flags accordingly.ST0
is treated as the left-hand side of the comparison, so that the carry flag is set (for a `less-than' result) ifST0
is less than the given operand.FUCOMP
does the same asFUCOM
, but pops the register stack afterwards.FUCOMPP
comparesST0
withST1
and then pops the register stack twice.FUCOMI
andFUCOMIP
work like the corresponding forms ofFUCOM
andFUCOMP
, but write their results directly to the CPU flags register rather than the FPU status word, so they can be immediately followed by conditional jump or conditional move instructions.
The
FUCOM
instructions differ from the
FCOM
instructions (section B.4.73) only in the way they handle quiet NaNs:
FUCOM
will handle them silently and set the condition code flags to an `unordered' result, whereas
FCOM
will generate an exception.

ST0
FXAM ; D9 E5 [8086,FPU]

FXRSTOR memory ; 0F AE /1 [P6,SSE,FPU]
The
FXRSTOR
instruction reloads the
FPU
,
MMX
and
SSE
state (environment and registers), from the 512 byte memory area defined by the source operand. This data should have been written by a previous

,
MMX
and
SSE
technology states (environment and registers), to the 512 byte memory area defined by the destination operand. It does this without checking for pending unmasked floating-point exceptions (similar to the operation of
FNSAVE
).
Unlike the
FSAVE/FNSAVE
instructions, the processor retains the contents of the
FPU
,
MMX
and
SSE
state in the processor after the state has been saved. This instruction has been optimised to maximize floating-point save performance.

FYL2X ; D9 F1 [8086,FPU] FYL2XP1 ; D9 F9 [8086,FPU]
FYL2X
multiplies
ST1
by the base-2 logarithm of
ST0
, stores the result in
ST1
, and pops the register stack (so that the result ends up in
ST0
).
ST0
must be non-zero and positive.
FYL2XP1
works the same way, but replacing the base-2 log of
ST0
with that of
ST0
plus one. This time,
ST0
must have magnitude no greater than 1 minus half the square root of two.
B.4.115
HLT
: Halt Processor
HLT ; F4 [8086,PRIV]
HLT
puts the processor into a halted state, where it will perform no more operations until restarted by an interrupt or a reset.
On the 286 and later processors, this is a privileged instruction.
B.4.116
IBTS
: Insert Bit String
IBTS r/m16,reg16 ; o16 0F A7 /r [386,UNDOC] IBTS r/m32,reg32 ; o32 0F A7 /r [386,UNDOC]
The implied operation of this instruction is:
IBTS r/m16,AX,CL,reg16 IBTS r/m32,EAX,CL,reg32
Writes a bit string from the source operand to the destination.
CL
indicates the number of bits to be copied, from the low bits of the source.
(E)AX
indicates the low order bit offset in the destination that is written to. For example, if
CL
is set to 4 and
AX
(for 16-bit code) is set to 5, bits 0-3 of
src
will be copied to bits 5-8 of
dst
. This instruction is very poorly documented, and I have been unable to find any official source of documentation on it.
IBTS
is supported only on the early Intel 386s, and conflicts with the opcodes for
CMPXCHG486
(on early Intel 486s). NASM supports it only for completeness. Its counterpart is
XBTS
(see section B.4.332).
B.4.117
IDIV
: Signed Integer Divide
IDIV r/m8 ; F6 /7 [8086] IDIV r/m16 ; o16 F7 /7 [8086] IDIV r/m32 ; o32 F7 /7 [386]
IDIV
performs signed integer division. The explicit operand provided is the divisor; the dividend and destination operands are implicit, in the following way:
- For
IDIV r/m8
,AX
is divided by the given operand; the quotient is stored inAL
and the remainder inAH
. - For
IDIV r/m16
,DX:AX
is divided by the given operand; the quotient is stored inAX
and the remainder inDX
. - For
IDIV r/m32
,EDX:EAX
is divided by the given operand; the quotient is stored inEAX
and the remainder inEDX
.
Unsigned integer division is performed by the
DIV
instruction: see section B.4.59.
B.4.118
IMUL
: Signed Integer Multiply
IMUL r/m8 ; F6 /5 [8086] IMUL r/m16 ; o16 F7 /5 [8086] IMUL r/m32 ; o32 F7 /5 [386]
IMUL reg16,r/m16 ; o16 0F AF /r [386] IMUL reg32,r/m32 ; o32 0F AF /r [386]
IMUL reg16,imm8 ; o16 6B /r ib [186] IMUL reg16,imm16 ; o16 69 /r iw [186] IMUL reg32,imm8 ; o32 6B /r ib [386] IMUL reg32,imm32 ; o32 69 /r id [386]
IMUL reg16,r/m16,imm8 ; o16 6B /r ib [186] IMUL reg16,r/m16,imm16 ; o16 69 /r iw [186] IMUL reg32,r/m32,imm8 ; o32 6B /r ib [386] IMUL reg32,r/m32,imm32 ; o32 69 /r id [386]
IMUL
performs signed integer multiplication. For the single-operand form, the other operand and destination are implicit, in the following way:
- For
IMUL r/m8
,AL
is multiplied by the given operand; the product is stored inAX
. - For
IMUL r/m16
,AX
is multiplied by the given operand; the product is stored inDX:AX
. - For
IMUL r/m32
,EAX
is multiplied by the given operand; the product is stored inEDX:EAX
.
The two-operand form multiplies its two operands and stores the result in the destination (first) operand. The three-operand form multiplies its last two operands and stores the result in the first operand.
The two-operand form with an immediate second operand is in fact a shorthand for the three-operand form, as can be seen by examining the opcode descriptions: in the two-operand form, the code
/r
takes both its register and
r/m
parts from the same operand (the first one).
In the forms with an 8-bit immediate operand and another longer source operand, the immediate operand is considered to be signed, and is sign-extended to the length of the other source operand. In these cases, the
BYTE
qualifier is necessary to force NASM to generate this form of the instruction.
Unsigned integer multiplication is performed by the
MUL
instruction: see section B.4.184.
B.4.119
IN
: Input from I/O Port
IN AL,imm8 ; E4 ib [8086] IN AX,imm8 ; o16 E5 ib [8086] IN EAX,imm8 ; o32 E5 ib [386] IN AL,DX ; EC [8086] IN AX,DX ; o16 ED [8086] IN EAX,DX ; o32 ED [386]
IN
reads a byte, word or doubleword from the specified I/O port, and stores it in the given destination register. The port number may be specified as an immediate value if it is between 0 and 255, and otherwise must be stored in
DX
. See also
OUT
(section B.4.194).
B.4.120
INC
: Increment Integer
INC reg16 ; o16 40+r [8086] INC reg32 ; o32 40+r [386] INC r/m8 ; FE /0 [8086] INC r/m16 ; o16 FF /0 [8086] INC r/m32 ; o32 FF /0 [386]
INC
adds 1 to its operand. It does not affect the carry flag: to affect the carry flag, use
ADD something,1
(see section B.4.3).
INC
affects all the other flags according to the result.
This instruction can be used with a
LOCK
prefix to allow atomic execution.

INSB
,
INSW
,
INSD
: Input String from I/O Port
INSB ; 6C [186] INSW ; o16 6D [186] INSD ; o32 6D [386]
INSB
inputs a byte from the I/O port specified in
DX
and stores it at
[ES:DI]
or
[ES:EDI]
. It then increments or decrements (depending on the direction flag: increments if the flag is clear, decrements if it is set)
DI
or
EDI
.
The register used is
DI
if the address size is 16 bits, and
EDI
if it is 32 bits. If you need to use an address size not equal to the current
BITS
setting, you can use an explicit
a16
or
a32
prefix.
Segment override prefixes have no effect for this instruction: the use of
ES
for the load from
[DI]
or
[EDI]
cannot be overridden.
INSW
and
INSD
work in the same way, but they input a word or a doubleword instead of a byte, and increment or decrement the addressing register by 2 or 4 instead of 1.
The
REP
prefix may be used to repeat the instruction
CX
(or
ECX
- again, the address size chooses which) times.

B.4.122
INT
: Software Interrupt
INT imm8 ; CD ib [8086]
INT
causes a software interrupt through a specified vector number from 0 to 255.
The code generated by the
INT
instruction is always two bytes long: although there are short forms for some
INT
instructions, NASM does not generate them when it sees the
INT
mnemonic. In order to generate single-byte breakpoint instructions, use the
INT3
or
INT1
instructions (see section B.4.123) instead.
B.4.123
INT3
,
INT1
,
ICEBP
,
INT01
: Breakpoints
INT1 ; F1 [P6] ICEBP ; F1 [P6] INT01 ; F1 [P6]
INT3 ; CC [8086] INT03 ; CC [8086]
INT1
and
INT3
are short one-byte forms of the instructions
INT 1
and
INT 3
(see section B.4.122). They perform a similar function to their longer counterparts, but take up less code space. They are used as breakpoints by debuggers.
INT1
, and its alternative synonymsINT01
andICEBP
, is an instruction used by in-circuit emulators (ICEs). It is present, though not documented, on some processors down to the 286, but is only documented for the Pentium Pro.INT3
is the instruction normally used as a breakpoint by debuggers.INT3
, and its synonymINT03
, is not precisely equivalent toINT 3
: the short form, since it is designed to be used as a breakpoint, bypasses the normalIOPL
checks in virtual-8086 mode, and also does not go through interrupt redirection.
B.4.124
INTO
: Interrupt if Overflow
INTO ; CE [8086]
INTO
performs an
INT 4
software interrupt (see section B.4.122) if and only if the overflow flag is set.
B.4.125
INVD
: Invalidate Internal Caches
INVD ; 0F 08 [486]
INVD
invalidates and empties the processor's internal caches, and causes the processor to instruct external caches to do the same. It does not write the contents of the caches back to memory first: any modified data held in the caches will be lost. To write the data back first, use
WBINVD
(section B.4.328).
B.4.126
INVLPG
: Invalidate TLB Entry
INVLPG mem ; 0F 01 /7 [486]
INVLPG
invalidates the translation lookahead buffer (TLB) entry associated with the supplied memory address.
B.4.127
IRET
,
IRETW
,
IRETD
: Return from Interrupt
IRET ; CF [8086] IRETW ; o16 CF [8086] IRETD ; o32 CF [386]
IRET
returns from an interrupt (hardware or software) by means of popping
IP
(or
EIP
),
CS
and the flags off the stack and then continuing execution from the new
CS:IP
.
IRETW
pops
IP
,
CS
and the flags as 2 bytes each, taking 6 bytes off the stack in total.
IRETD
pops
EIP
as 4 bytes, pops a further 4 bytes of which the top two are discarded and the bottom two go into
CS
, and pops the flags as 4 bytes as well, taking 12 bytes off the stack.
IRET
is a shorthand for either
IRETW
or
IRETD
, depending on the default
BITS
setting at the time.
B.4.128
Jcc
: Conditional Branch
Jcc imm ; 70+cc rb [8086] Jcc NEAR imm ; 0F 80+cc rw/rd [386]
The conditional jump instructions execute a near (same segment) jump if and only if their conditions are satisfied. For example,
JNZ
jumps only if the zero flag is not set.
The ordinary form of the instructions has only a 128-byte range; the
NEAR
form is a 386 extension to the instruction set, and can span the full size of a segment. NASM will not override your choice of jump instruction: if you want
Jcc NEAR
, you have to use the
NEAR
keyword.
The
SHORT
keyword is allowed on the first form of the instruction, for clarity, but is not necessary.
For details of the condition codes, see section B.2.2.
B.4.129
JCXZ
,
JECXZ
: Jump if CX/ECX Zero
JCXZ imm ; a16 E3 rb [8086] JECXZ imm ; a32 E3 rb [386]
JCXZ
performs a short jump (with maximum range 128 bytes) if and only if the contents of the
CX
register is 0.
JECXZ
does the same thing, but with
ECX
.
B.4.130
JMP
: Jump
JMP imm ; E9 rw/rd [8086] JMP SHORT imm ; EB rb [8086] JMP imm:imm16 ; o16 EA iw iw [8086] JMP imm:imm32 ; o32 EA id iw [386] JMP FAR mem ; o16 FF /5 [8086] JMP FAR mem32 ; o32 FF /5 [386] JMP r/m16 ; o16 FF /4 [8086] JMP r/m32 ; o32 FF /4 [386]
JMP
jumps to a given address. The address may be specified as an absolute segment and offset, or as a relative jump within the current segment.
JMP SHORT imm
has a maximum range of 128 bytes, since the displacement is specified as only 8 bits, but takes up less code space. NASM does not choose when to generate
JMP SHORT
for you: you must explicitly code
SHORT
every time you want a short jump.
You can choose between the two immediate far jump forms (
JMP imm:imm
) by the use of the
WORD
and
DWORD
keywords:
JMP WORD 0x1234:0x5678
) or
JMP DWORD 0x1234:0x56789abc
.
The
JMP FAR mem
forms execute a far jump by loading the destination address out of memory. The address loaded consists of 16 or 32 bits of offset (depending on the operand size), and 16 bits of segment. The operand size may be overridden using
JMP WORD FAR mem
or
JMP DWORD FAR mem
.
The
JMP r/m
forms execute a near jump (within the same segment), loading the destination address out of memory or out of a register. The keyword
NEAR
may be specified, for clarity, in these forms, but is not necessary. Again, operand size can be overridden using
JMP WORD mem
or
JMP DWORD mem
.
As a convenience, NASM does not require you to jump to a far symbol by coding the cumbersome
JMP SEG routine:routine
, but instead allows the easier synonym
JMP FAR routine
.
The
CALL r/m
forms given above are near calls; NASM will accept the
NEAR
keyword (e.g.
CALL NEAR [address]
), even though it is not strictly necessary.
B.4.131
LAHF
: Load AH from Flags
LAHF ; 9F [8086]
LAHF
sets the
AH
register according to the contents of the low byte of the flags word.
The operation of
LAHF
is:
AH <-- SF:ZF:0:AF:0:PF:1:CF

SAHF
(section B.4.282).

LAR
: Load Access Rights
LAR reg16,r/m16 ; o16 0F 02 /r [286,PRIV] LAR reg32,r/m32 ; o32 0F 02 /r [286,PRIV]
LAR
takes the segment selector specified by its source (second) operand, finds the corresponding segment descriptor in the GDT or LDT, and loads the access-rights byte of the descriptor into its destination (first) operand.
B.4.133
LDMXCSR
: Load Streaming SIMD Extension Control/Status
LDMXCSR mem32 ; 0F AE /2 [KATMAI,SSE]
LDMXCSR
loads 32-bits of data from the specified memory location into the
MXCSR
control/status register.
MXCSR
is used to enable masked/unmasked exception handling, to set rounding modes, to set flush-to-zero mode, and to view exception status flags.
For details of the
MXCSR
register, see the Intel processor docs.

LDS
,
LES
,
LFS

LSS
: Load Far Pointer
LDS reg16,mem ; o16 C5 /r [8086] LDS reg32,mem ; o32 C5 /r [386]
LES reg16,mem ; o16 C4 /r [8086] LES reg32,mem ; o32 C4 /r [386]

LSS reg16,mem ; o16 0F B2 /r [386] LSS reg32,mem ; o32 0F B2 /r [386]
These instructions load an entire far pointer (16 or 32 bits of offset, plus 16 bits of segment) out of memory in one go.
LDS
, for example, loads 16 or 32 bits from the given memory address into the given register (depending on the size of the register), then loads the next 16 bits from memory into
DS
.
LES
,
LFS
,
LGS
and
LSS
work in the same way but use the other segment registers.
B.4.135
LEA
: Load Effective Address
LEA reg16,mem ; o16 8D /r [8086] LEA reg32,mem ; o32 8D /r [386]
LEA
, despite its syntax, does not access memory. It calculates the effective address specified by its second operand as if it were going to load or store data from it, but instead it stores the calculated address into the register specified by its first operand. This can be used to perform quite complex calculations (e.g.
LEA EAX,[EBX+ECX*4+100]
) in one instruction.
LEA
, despite being a purely arithmetic instruction which accesses no memory, still requires square brackets around its second operand, as if it were a memory reference.
The size of the calculation is the current address size, and the size that the result is stored as is the current operand size. If the address and operand size are not the same, then if the addressing mode was 32-bits, the low 16-bits are stored, and if the address was 16-bits, it is zero-extended to 32-bits before storing.
B.4.136
LEAVE
: Destroy Stack Frame
LEAVE ; C9 [186]
LEAVE
destroys a stack frame of the form created by the
ENTER
instruction (see section B.4.65). It is functionally equivalent to
MOV ESP,EBP
followed by
POP EBP
(or
MOV SP,BP
followed by
POP BP
in 16-bit mode).
B.4.137
LFENCE
: Load Fence
LFENCE ; 0F AE /5 [WILLAMETTE,SSE2]
LFENCE
performs a serialising operation on all loads from memory that were issued before the
LFENCE
instruction. This guarantees that all memory reads before the
LFENCE
instruction are visible before any reads after the
LFENCE
instruction.
LFENCE
is ordered respective to other
LFENCE
instruction,
MFENCE
, any memory read and any other serialising instruction (such as
CPUID
).
Weakly ordered memory types can be used to achieve higher processor performance through such techniques as out-of-order issue and speculative reads. The degree to which a consumer of data recognizes or knows that the data is weakly ordered varies among applications and may be unknown to the producer of this data. The
LFENCE
instruction provides a performance-efficient way of ensuring load ordering between routines that produce weakly-ordered results and routines that consume that data.
LFENCE
uses the following ModRM encoding:
Mod (7:6) = 11B Reg/Opcode (5:3) = 101B R/M (2:0) = 000B
All other ModRM encodings are defined to be reserved, and use of these encodings risks incompatibility with future processors.

: Load Descriptor Tables
LGDT mem ; 0F 01 /2 [286,PRIV] LIDT mem ; 0F 01 /3 [286,PRIV] LLDT r/m16 ; 0F 00 /2 [286,PRIV]
LGDT
and
LIDT
both take a 6-byte memory area as an operand: they load a 32-bit linear address and a 16-bit size limit from that area (in the opposite order) into the
GDTR
(global descriptor table register) or
IDTR
(interrupt descriptor table register). These are the only instructions which directly use linear addresses, rather than segment/offset pairs.
LLDT
takes a segment selector as an operand. The processor looks up that selector in the GDT and stores the limit and base address given there into the
LDTR
(local descriptor table register).

B.4.139
LMSW
: Load/Store Machine Status Word
LMSW r/m16 ; 0F 01 /6 [286,PRIV]
LMSW
loads the bottom four bits of the source operand into the bottom four bits of the
CR0
control register (or the Machine Status Word, on 286 processors). See also
SMSW
(section B.4.296).
B.4.140
LOADALL
,
LOADALL286
: Load Processor State
LOADALL ; 0F 07 [386,UNDOC] LOADALL286 ; 0F 05 [286,UNDOC]
This instruction, in its two different-opcode forms, is apparently supported on most 286 processors, some 386 and possibly some 486. The opcode differs between the 286 and the 386.
The function of the instruction is to load all information relating to the state of the processor out of a block of memory: on the 286, this block is located implicitly at absolute address
0x800
, and on the 386 and 486 it is at
[ES:EDI]
.
B.4.141
LODSB
,
LODSW
,
LODSD
: Load from String
LODSB ; AC [8086] LODSW ; o16 AD [8086] LODSD ; o32 AD [386]
LODSB
loads a byte from
[DS:SI]
or
[DS:ESI]
into
AL
. It then increments or decrements (depending on the direction flag: increments if the flag is clear, decrements if it is set)
SI
or
ESI
.
The register used is
SI
if the address size is 16 bits, and
ESI
if it is 32 bits. If you need to use an address size not equal to the current
BITS
setting, you can use an explicit
a16
or
a32
prefix.
The segment register used to load from
[SI]
or
[ESI]
can be overridden by using a segment register name as a prefix (for example,
ES LODSB
).
LODSW
and
LODSD
work in the same way, but they load a word or a doubleword instead of a byte, and increment or decrement the addressing registers by 2 or 4 instead of 1.
B.4.142
LOOP
,
LOOPE
,
LOOPZ
,
LOOPNE
,
LOOPNZ
: Loop with Counter
LOOP imm ; E2 rb [8086] LOOP imm,CX ; a16 E2 rb [8086] LOOP imm,ECX ; a32 E2 rb [386]
LOOPE imm ; E1 rb [8086] LOOPE imm,CX ; a16 E1 rb [8086] LOOPE imm,ECX ; a32 E1 rb [386] LOOPZ imm ; E1 rb [8086] LOOPZ imm,CX ; a16 E1 rb [8086] LOOPZ imm,ECX ; a32 E1 rb [386]
LOOPNE imm ; E0 rb [8086] LOOPNE imm,CX ; a16 E0 rb [8086] LOOPNE imm,ECX ; a32 E0 rb [386] LOOPNZ imm ; E0 rb [8086] LOOPNZ imm,CX ; a16 E0 rb [8086] LOOPNZ imm,ECX ; a32 E0 rb [386]
LOOP
decrements its counter register (either
CX
or
ECX
- if one is not specified explicitly, the
BITS
setting dictates which is used) by one, and if the counter does not become zero as a result of this operation, it jumps to the given label. The jump has a range of 128 bytes.
LOOPE
(or its synonym
LOOPZ
) adds the additional condition that it only jumps if the counter is nonzero and the zero flag is set. Similarly,
LOOPNE
(and
LOOPNZ
) jumps only if the counter is nonzero and the zero flag is clear.
B.4.143
LSL
: Load Segment Limit
LSL reg16,r/m16 ; o16 0F 03 /r [286,PRIV] LSL reg32,r/m32 ; o32 0F 03 /r [286,PRIV]
LSL
is given a segment selector in its source (second) operand; it computes the segment limit value by loading the segment limit field from the associated segment descriptor in the
GDT
or
LDT
. (This involves shifting left by 12 bits if the segment limit is page-granular, and not if it is byte-granular; so you end up with a byte limit in either case.) The segment limit obtained is then loaded into the destination (first) operand.
B.4.144
LTR
: Load Task Register
LTR r/m16 ; 0F 00 /3 [286,PRIV]
LTR
looks up the segment base and limit in the GDT or LDT descriptor specified by the segment selector given as its operand, and loads them into the Task Register.
B.4.145
MASKMOVDQU
: Byte Mask Write
MASKMOVDQU xmm1,xmm2 ; 66 0F F7 /r [WILLAMETTE,SSE2]
MASKMOVDQU
stores data from xmm1 to the location specified by
ES:(E)DI
. The size of the store depends on the address-size attribute. The most significant bit in each byte of the mask register xmm2 is used to selectively write the data (0 = no write, 1 = write) on a per-byte basis.
B.4.146
MASKMOVQ
: Byte Mask Write
MASKMOVQ mm1,mm2 ; 0F F7 /r [KATMAI,MMX]
MASKMOVQ
stores data from mm1 to the location specified by
ES:(E)DI
. The size of the store depends on the address-size attribute. The most significant bit in each byte of the mask register mm2 is used to selectively write the data (0 = no write, 1 = write) on a per-byte basis.
B.4.147
MAXPD
: Return Packed Double-Precision FP Maximum
MAXPD xmm1,xmm2/m128 ; 66 0F 5F /r [WILLAMETTE,SSE2]
MAXPD
performs a SIMD compare of the packed double-precision FP numbers from xmm1 and xmm2/mem, and stores the maximum values of each pair of values in xmm1. If the values being compared are both zeroes, source2 (xmm2/m128) would be returned. If source2 (xmm2/m128) is an SNaN, this SNaN is forwarded unchanged to the destination (i.e., a QNaN version of the SNaN is not returned).
B.4.148
MAXPS
: Return Packed Single-Precision FP Maximum
MAXPS xmm1,xmm2/m128 ; 0F 5F /r [KATMAI,SSE]
MAXPS
performs a SIMD compare of the packed single-precision FP numbers from xmm1 and xmm2/mem, and stores the maximum values of each pair of values in xmm1. If the values being compared are both zeroes, source2 (xmm2/m128) would be returned. If source2 (xmm2/m128) is an SNaN, this SNaN is forwarded unchanged to the destination (i.e., a QNaN version of the SNaN is not returned).
B.4.149
MAXSD
: Return Scalar Double-Precision FP Maximum
MAXSD xmm1,xmm2/m64 ; F2 0F 5F /r [WILLAMETTE,SSE2]

MFENCE
: Memory Fence
MFENCE ; 0F AE /6 [WILLAMETTE,SSE2]
MFENCE
performs a serialising operation on all loads from memory and writes to memory that were issued before the
MFENCE
instruction. This guarantees that all memory reads and writes before the
MFENCE
instruction are completed before any reads and writes after the
MFENCE
instruction.
MFENCE
is ordered respective to other
MFENCE
instructions,
LFENCE
,
SFENCE
, any memory read and any other serialising instruction (such as
CPUID
).
Weakly ordered memory types can be used to achieve higher processor performance through such techniques as out-of-order issue, speculative reads, write-combining, and write-collapsing. The degree to which a consumer of data recognizes or knows that the data is weakly ordered varies among applications and may be unknown to the producer of this data. The
MFENCE
instruction provides a performance-efficient way of ensuring load and store ordering between routines that produce weakly-ordered results and routines that consume that data.
MFENCE
uses the following ModRM encoding:
Mod (7:6) = 11B Reg/Opcode (5:3) = 110B R/M (2:0) = 000B
All other ModRM encodings are defined to be reserved, and use of these encodings risks incompatibility with future processors.

MOV
copies the contents of its source (second) operand into its destination (first) operand.
In all forms of the
MOV
instruction, the two operands are the same size, except for moving between a segment register and an
r/m32
operand. These instructions are treated exactly like the corresponding 16-bit equivalent (so that, for example,
MOV DS,EAX
functions identically to
MOV DS,AX
but saves a prefix when in 32-bit mode), except that when a segment register is moved into a 32-bit destination, the top two bytes of the result are undefined.
MOV
may not use
CS
as a destination.
CR4
is only a supported register on the Pentium and above.
Test registers are supported on 386/486 processors and on some non-Intel Pentium class processors.

,
MOVSD
: Move String
MOVSB ; A4 [8086] MOVSW ; o16 A5 [8086] MOVSD ; o32 A5 [386]
MOVSB
copies the byte at
[DS:SI]
or
[DS:ESI]
to
[ES:DI]
or
[ES:EDI]
. It then increments or decrements (depending on the direction flag: increments if the flag is clear, decrements if it is set)
SI
and
DI
(or
ESI
and
EDI
).
The registers used are
SI
and
DI
if the address size is 16 bits, and
ESI
and
EDI
if it is 32 bits. If you need to use an address size not equal to the current
BITS
setting, you can use an explicit
a16
or
a32
prefix.
The segment register used to load from
[SI]
or
[ESI]
can be overridden by using a segment register name as a prefix (for example,
es movsb
). The use of
ES
for the store to
[DI]
or
[EDI]
cannot be overridden.
MOVSW

OUT
writes the contents of the given source register to the specified I/O port. The port number may be specified as an immediate value if it is between 0 and 255, and otherwise must be stored in
DX
. See also

,
OUTSW
,
OUTSD
: Output String to I/O Port
OUTSB ; 6E [186] OUTSW ; o16 6F [186] OUTSD ; o32 6F [386]
OUTSB
loads a byte from
[DS:SI]
or
[DS:ESI]
and writes it to the I/O port specified in
DX
. It then increments or decrements (depending on the direction flag: increments if the flag is clear, decrements if it is set)
SI
or
ESI
.
The register used is
SI
if the address size is 16 bits, and
ESI
if it is 32 bits. If you need to use an address size not equal to the current
BITS
setting, you can use an explicit
a16
or
a32
prefix.
The segment register used to load from
[SI]
or
[ESI]
can be overridden by using a segment register name as a prefix (for example,
es outsb
).
OUTSW
and
OUTSD
work in the same way, but they output a word or a doubleword instead of a byte, and increment or decrement the addressing registers by 2 or 4 instead of 1.
The
REP
prefix may be used to repeat the instruction
CX
(or
ECX
- again, the address size chooses which) times.

MMX
versions pack two 64-bit operands into one 64-bit register, while the
SSE
versions pack two 128-bit operands into one 128-bit register.
PACKSSWB
splits the combined value into words, and then reduces the words to bytes, using signed saturation. It then packs the bytes into the destination register in the same order the words were in.PACKSSDW
performs the same operation asPACKSSWB
, except that it reduces doublewords to words, then packs them into the destination register.PACKUSWB
performs the same operation asPACKSSWB
, except that it uses unsigned saturation when reducing the size of the elements.
To perform signed saturation on a number, it is replaced by the largest signed number (
7FFFh
or
7Fh
) that will fit, and if it is too small it is replaced by the smallest signed number (
8000h
or
80h
) that will fit. To perform unsigned saturation, the input is treated as unsigned, and the input is replaced by the largest unsigned number that will fit.

These instructions, specific to the Cyrix MMX extensions, perform parallel conditional moves. The two input operands are treated as vectors of eight bytes. Each byte of the destination (first) operand is either written from the corresponding byte of the source (second) operand, or left alone, depending on the value of the byte in the implied operand (specified in the same way as
PADDSIW
, in section B.4.200).
PMVZB
performs each move if the corresponding byte in the implied operand is zero;PMVNZB
moves if the byte is non-zero;PMVLZB
moves if the byte is less than zero;PMVGEZB
moves if the byte is greater than or equal to zero.
Note that these instructions cannot take a register as their second source operand.

POP
: Pop Data from Stack
POP reg16 ; o16 58+r [8086] POP reg32 ; o32 58+r [386]
POP r/m16 ; o16 8F /0 [8086] POP r/m32 ; o32 8F /0 [386]
POP CS ; 0F [8086,UNDOC] POP DS ; 1F [8086] POP ES ; 07 [8086] POP SS ; 17 [8086] POP FS ; 0F A1 [386] POP GS ; 0F A9 [386]
POP
loads a value from the stack (from
[SS:SP]
or
[SS:ESP]
) and then increments the stack pointer.
The address-size attribute of the instruction determines whether
SP
or
ESP
is used as the stack pointer: to deliberately override the default given by the
BITS
setting, you can use an
a16
or
a32
prefix.
The operand-size attribute of the instruction determines whether the stack pointer is incremented by 2 or 4: this means that segment register pops in
BITS 32
mode will pop 4 bytes off the stack and discard the upper two of them. If you need to override that, you can use an
o16
or
o32
prefix.
The above opcode listings give two forms for general-purpose register pop instructions: for example,
POP BX
has the two forms
5B
and
8F C3
. NASM will always generate the shorter form when given
POP BX
. NDISASM will disassemble both.
POP CS
is not a documented instruction, and is not supported on any processor above the 8086 (since they use
0Fh
as an opcode prefix for instruction set extensions). However, at least some 8086 processors do support it, and so NASM generates it for completeness.
B.4.245
POPAx
: Pop All General-Purpose Registers
POPA ; 61 [186] POPAW ; o16 61 [186] POPAD ; o32 61 [386]
POPAW
pops a word from the stack into each of, successively,DI
,SI
,BP
, nothing (it discards a word from the stack which was a placeholder forSP
),BX
,DX
,CX
andAX
. It is intended to reverse the operation ofPUSHAW
(see section B.4.264), but it ignores the value forSP
that was pushed on the stack byPUSHAW
.POPAD
pops twice as much data, and places the results inEDI
,ESI
,EBP
, nothing (placeholder forESP
),EBX
,EDX
,ECX
andEAX
. It reverses the operation ofPUSHAD
.
POPA
is an alias mnemonic for either
POPAW
or
POPAD
, depending on the current
BITS
setting.
Note that the registers are popped in reverse order of their numeric values in opcodes (see section B.2.1).
B.4.246
POPFx
: Pop Flags Register
POPF ; 9D [8086] POPFW ; o16 9D [8086] POPFD ; o32 9D [386]
POPFW
pops a word from the stack and stores it in the bottom 16 bits of the flags register (or the whole flags register, on processors below a 386).POPFD
pops a doubleword and stores it in the entire flags register.
POPF
is an alias mnemonic for either
POPFW
or
POPFD
, depending on the current
BITS
setting.

The
PREFETCHh
instructions fetch the line of data from memory that contains the specified byte. It is placed in the cache according to rules specified by locality hints
h
:
The hints are:
T0
(temporal data) - prefetch data into all levels of the cache hierarchy.T1
(temporal data with respect to first level cache) - prefetch data into level 2 cache and higher.T2
(temporal data with respect to second level cache) - prefetch data into level 2 cache and higher.NTA
(non-temporal data with respect to all cache levels) - prefetch data into non-temporal cache structure and into a location close to the processor, minimizing cache pollution.
Note that this group of instructions doesn't provide a guarantee that the data will be in the cache when it is needed. For more details, see the Intel IA32 Software Developer Manual, Volume 2.

PSADBW mm1,mm2/m64 ; 0F F6 /r [KATMAI,MMX] PSADBW xmm1,xmm2/m128 ; 66 0F F6 /r [WILLAMETTE,SSE2]
PSADBW
The PSADBW instruction computes the absolute value of the difference of the packed unsigned bytes in the two source operands. These differences are then summed to produce a word result in the lower 16-bit field of the destination register; the rest of the register is cleared. The destination operand is an
MMX
or an
XMM
register. The source operand can either be a register or a memory operand.

: Shuffle Packed Doublewords
PSHUFD xmm1,xmm2/m128,imm8 ; 66 0F 70 /r ib [WILLAMETTE,SSE2]
PSHUFD
shuffles the doublewords in the source (second) operand according to the encoding specified by imm8, and stores the result in the destination (first) operand.
Bits 0 and 1 of imm8 encode the source position of the doubleword to be copied to position 0 in the destination operand. Bits 2 and 3 encode for position 1, bits 4 and 5 encode for position 2, and bits 6 and 7 encode for position 3. For example, an encoding of 10 in bits 0 and 1 of imm8 indicates that the doubleword at bits 64-95 of the source operand will be copied to bits 0-31 of the destination.

The operation of this instruction is similar to the
PSHUFW
instruction, except that the source and destination are the low quadword of a 128-bit operand, instead of being 64-bit operands. The high quadword is copied from the source to the destination without any changes.
B.4.254
PSHUFW
: Shuffle Packed Words
PSHUFW mm1,mm2/m64,imm8 ; 0F 70 /r ib [KATMAI,MMX]
PSHUFW
shuffles the words in the source (second) operand according to the encoding specified by imm8, and stores the result in the destination (first) operand.
Bits 0 and 1 of imm8 encode the source position of the word to be copied to position 0 in the destination operand. Bits 2 and 3 encode for position 1, bits 4 and 5 encode for position 2, and bits 6 and 7 encode for position 3. For example, an encoding of 10 in bits 0 and 1 of imm8 indicates that the word at bits 32-47 of the source operand will be copied to bits 0-15 of the destination.

PUNPCKxx
all treat their operands as vectors, and produce a new vector generated by interleaving elements from the two inputs. The
PUNPCKHxx
instructions start by throwing away the bottom half of each input operand, and the
PUNPCKLxx
instructions throw away the top half.
The remaining elements, are then interleaved into the destination, alternating elements from the second (source) operand and the first (destination) operand: so the leftmost part of each element in the result always comes from the second operand, and the rightmost from the destination.
PUNPCKxBW
works a byte at a time, producing word sized output elements.PUNPCKxWD
works a word at a time, producing doubleword sized output elements.PUNPCKxDQ
works a doubleword at a time, producing quadword sized output elements.PUNPCKxQDQ
works a quadword at a time, producing double quadword sized output elements.
So, for example, for
MMX

PUSH
: Push Data on Stack
PUSH reg16 ; o16 50+r [8086] PUSH reg32 ; o32 50+r [386]
PUSH r/m16 ; o16 FF /6 [8086] PUSH r/m32 ; o32 FF /6 [386]

PUSH imm8 ; 6A ib [186] PUSH imm16 ; o16 68 iw [186] PUSH imm32 ; o32 68 id [386]
PUSH
decrements the stack pointer (
SP
or
ESP
) by 2 or 4, and then stores the given value at
[SS:SP]
or
[SS:ESP]
.
The address-size attribute of the instruction determines whether
SP
or
ESP
is used as the stack pointer: to deliberately override the default given by the
BITS
setting, you can use an
a16
or
a32
prefix.
The operand-size attribute of the instruction determines whether the stack pointer is decremented by 2 or 4: this means that segment register pushes in
BITS 32
mode will push 4 bytes on the stack, of which the upper two are undefined. If you need to override that, you can use an
o16
or
o32
prefix.
The above opcode listings give two forms for general-purpose register push instructions: for example,
PUSH BX
has the two forms
53
and
FF F3
. NASM will always generate the shorter form when given
PUSH BX
. NDISASM will disassemble both.
Unlike the undocumented and barely supported
POP CS
,
PUSH CS
is a perfectly valid and sensible instruction, supported on all processors.
The instruction
PUSH SP
may be used to distinguish an 8086 from later processors: on an 8086, the value of
SP
stored is the value it has after the push instruction, whereas on later processors it is the value before the push instruction.

PUSHAx
: Push All General-Purpose Registers
PUSHA ; 60 [186] PUSHAD ; o32 60 [386] PUSHAW ; o16 60 [186]

AX
,
CX
,
DX
,
BX
,
SP
,
BP
,
SI
and
DI
on the stack, decrementing the stack pointer by a total of 16.
PUSHAD
pushes, in succession,
EAX
,
ECX
,
EDX
,
EBX
,
ESP
,
EBP
,
ESI
and
EDI
on the stack, decrementing the stack pointer by a total of 32.
In both cases, the value of
SP
or
ESP
pushed is its original value, as it had before the instruction was executed.
PUSHA
is an alias mnemonic for either
PUSHAW
or
PUSHAD
, depending on the current
BITS
setting.
Note that the registers are pushed in order of their numeric values in opcodes (see section B.2.1).

pops a doubleword and stores it in the entire flags register.
PUSHF
is an alias mnemonic for either

RCL
and
RCR
perform a 9-bit, 17-bit or 33-bit bitwise rotation operation, involving the given source/destination (first) operand and the carry bit. Thus, for example, in the operation
RCL AL,1
, a 9-bit rotation is performed in which
AL
is shifted left by 1, the top bit of
AL
moves into the carry flag, and the original value of the carry flag is placed in the low bit of
AL
.
The number of bits to rotate by is given by the second operand. Only the bottom five bits of the rotation count are considered by processors above the 8086.
You can force the longer (286 and upwards, beginning with a

byte) form of
RCL foo,1
by using a
BYTE
prefix:

ROL
and
ROR
perform a bitwise rotation operation on the given source/destination (first) operand. Thus, for example, in the operation

SAL
and
SAR
perform an arithmetic shift operation on the given source/destination (first) operand. The vacated bits are filled with zero for
SAL
, and with copies of the original high bit of the source operand for
SAR
.
SAL
is a synonym for
SHL
(see section B.4.290). NASM will assemble either one to the same code, but NDISASM will always disassemble that code as
SHL
.
The number of bits to shift by is given by the second operand. Only the bottom five bits of the shift count are considered by processors above the 8086.
You can force the longer (286 and upwards, beginning with a
C1
byte) form of
SAL foo,1
by using a
BYTE
prefix:
SAL foo,BYTE 1
. Similarly with
SAR
.
B.4.284
SALC
: Set AL from Carry Flag
SALC ; D6 [8086,UNDOC]
SALC
is an early undocumented instruction similar in concept to
SETcc
(section B.4.287). Its function is to set
AL
to zero if the carry flag is clear, or to
0xFF
if it is set.
B.4.285
SBB
: Subtract with Borrow
SBB r/m8,reg8 ; 18 /r [8086] SBB r/m16,reg16 ; o16 19 /r [8086] SBB r/m32,reg32 ; o32 19 /r [386]
SBB reg8,r/m8 ; 1A /r [8086] SBB reg16,r/m16 ; o16 1B /r [8086] SBB reg32,r/m32 ; o32 1B /r [386]

SBB r/m16,imm8 ; o16 83 /3 ib [8086] SBB r/m32,imm8 ; o32 83 /3 ib [386]
SBB AL,imm8 ; 1C ib [8086] SBB AX,imm16 ; o16 1D iw [8086] SBB EAX,imm32 ; o32 1D id [386]
SBB
performs integer subtraction: it subtracts its second operand, plus the value of the carry flag, from its first, and leaves the result in its destination (first) operand. The flags are set according to the result of the operation: in particular, the carry flag is affected and can be used by a subsequent
SBB
instruction.
In the forms with an 8-bit immediate second operand and a longer first operand, the second operand is considered to be signed, and is sign-extended to the length of the first operand. In these cases, the
BYTE
qualifier is necessary to force NASM to generate this form of the instruction.
To subtract one number from another without also subtracting the contents of the carry flag, use
SUB
(section B.4.305).
B.4.286
SCASB
,
SCASW
,
SCASD
: Scan String
SCASB ; AE [8086] SCASW ; o16 AF [8086] SCASD ; o32 AF [386]
SCASB
compares the byte in
AL
with the byte at
[ES:DI]
or
[ES:EDI]
, and sets the flags accordingly. It then increments or decrements (depending on the direction flag: increments if the flag is clear, decrements if it is set)
DI
(or
EDI
).
The register used is
DI
if the address size is 16 bits, and
EDI
if it is 32 bits. If you need to use an address size not equal to the current
BITS
setting, you can use an explicit
a16
or
a32
prefix.
Segment override prefixes have no effect for this instruction: the use of
ES
for the load from
[DI]
or
[EDI]
cannot be overridden.
SCASW
and
SCASD
work in the same way, but they compare a word to
AX
or a doubleword to
EAX
instead of a byte to
AL
, and increment or decrement the addressing registers by 2 or 4 instead of 1.
The
REPE
and
REPNE
prefixes (equivalently,
REPZ
and
REPNZ
) may be used to repeat the instruction up to
CX
(or
ECX
- again, the address size chooses which) times until the first unequal or equal byte is found.
B.4.287
SETcc
: Set Register from Condition
SETcc r/m8 ; 0F 90+cc /2 [386]
SETcc
sets the given 8-bit operand to zero if its condition is not satisfied, and to 1 if it is.
B.4.288
SFENCE
: Store Fence
SFENCE ; 0F AE /7 [KATMAI]
SFENCE
performs a serialising operation on all writes to memory that were issued before the
SFENCE
instruction. This guarantees that all memory writes before the
SFENCE
instruction are visible before any writes after the
SFENCE
instruction.
SFENCE
is ordered respective to other
SFENCE
instruction,
MFENCE
, any memory write and any other serialising instruction (such as
CPUID
).
Weakly ordered memory types can be used to achieve higher processor performance through such techniques as out-of-order issue, write-combining, and write-collapsing. The degree to which a consumer of data recognizes or knows that the data is weakly ordered varies among applications and may be unknown to the producer of this data. The
SFENCE
instruction provides a performance-efficient way of insuring store ordering between routines that produce weakly-ordered results and routines that consume this data.
SFENCE
uses the following ModRM encoding:
Mod (7:6) = 11B Reg/Opcode (5:3) = 111B R/M (2:0) = 000B
All other ModRM encodings are defined to be reserved, and use of these encodings risks incompatibility with future processors.

SGDT
and
SIDT
both take a 6-byte memory area as an operand: they store the contents of the GDTR (global descriptor table register) or IDTR (interrupt descriptor table register) into that area as a 32-bit linear address and a 16-bit size limit from that area (in that order). These are the only instructions which directly use linear addresses, rather than segment/offset pairs.

SHL
and
SHR
perform a logical shift operation on the given source/destination (first) operand. The vacated bits are filled with zero.
A synonym for
SHL
is
SAL
(see section B.4.283). NASM will assemble either one to the same code, but NDISASM will always disassemble that code as
SHL
.
The number of bits to shift by is given by the second operand. Only the bottom five bits of the shift count are considered by processors above the 8086.
You can force the longer (286 and upwards, beginning with a

SHLD
performs a double-precision left shift. It notionally places its second operand to the right of its first, then shifts the entire bit string thus generated to the left by a number of bits specified in the third operand. It then updates only the first operand according to the result of this. The second operand is not modified.SHRD
performs the corresponding right shift: it notionally places the second operand to the left of the first, shifts the whole bit string right, and updates only the first operand.
For example, if
EAX
holds
0x01234567
and
EBX
holds
0x89ABCDEF
, then the instruction
SHLD EAX,EBX,4
would update
EAX
to hold
0x12345678
. Under the same conditions,
SHRD EAX,EBX,4
would update
EAX
to hold
0xF0123456
.
The number of bits to shift by is given by the third operand. Only the bottom five bits of the shift count are considered.

SHUFPD
: Shuffle Packed Double-Precision FP Values
SHUFPD xmm1,xmm2/m128,imm8 ; 66 0F C6 /r ib [WILLAMETTE,SSE2]
SHUFPD
moves one of the packed double-precision FP values from the destination operand into the low quadword of the destination operand; the upper quadword is generated by moving one of the double-precision FP values from the source operand into the destination. The select (third) operand selects which of the values are moved to the destination register.
The select operand is an 8-bit immediate: bit 0 selects which value is moved from the destination operand to the result (where 0 selects the low quadword and 1 selects the high quadword) and bit 1 selects which value is moved from the source operand to the result. Bits 2 through 7 of the shuffle operand are reserved.
B.4.293
SHUFPS
: Shuffle Packed Single-Precision FP Values
SHUFPS xmm1,xmm2/m128,imm8 ; 0F C6 /r ib [KATMAI,SSE]
SHUFPS
moves two of the packed single-precision FP values from the destination operand into the low quadword of the destination operand; the upper quadword is generated by moving two of the single-precision FP values from the source operand into the destination. The select (third) operand selects which of the values are moved to the destination register.
The select operand is an 8-bit immediate: bits 0 and 1 select the value to be moved from the destination operand the low doubleword of the result, bits 2 and 3 select the value to be moved from the destination operand the second doubleword of the result, bits 4 and 5 select the value to be moved from the source operand the third doubleword of the result, and bits 6 and 7 select the value to be moved from the source operand to the high doubleword of the result.

SMI
: System Management Interrupt
SMI ; F1 [386,UNDOC]
SMI
puts some AMD processors into SMM mode. It is available on some 386 and 486 processors, and is only available when DR7 bit 12 is set, otherwise it generates an Int 1.
B.4.295
SMINT
,
SMINTOLD
: Software SMM Entry (CYRIX)
SMINT ; 0F 38 [PENT,CYRIX] SMINTOLD ; 0F 7E [486,CYRIX]
SMINT
puts the processor into SMM mode. The CPU state information is saved in the SMM memory header, and then execution begins at the SMM base address.
SMINTOLD
is the same as
SMINT
, but was the opcode used on the 486.
This pair of opcodes are specific to the Cyrix and compatible range of processors (Cyrix, IBM, Via).
B.4.296
SMSW
: Store Machine Status Word
SMSW r/m16 ; 0F 01 /4 [286,PRIV]
SMSW
stores the bottom half of the
CR0
control register (or the Machine Status Word, on 286 processors) into the destination operand. See also
LMSW
(section B.4.139).
For 32-bit code, this would use the low 16-bits of the specified register (or a 16bit memory location), without needing an operand size override byte.
B.4.297

B.4.298
SQRTPS
: Packed Single-Precision FP Square Root
SQRTPS xmm1,xmm2/m128 ; 0F 51 /r [KATMAI,SSE]
SQRTPS
calculates the square root of the packed single-precision FP value from the source operand, and stores the single-precision results in the destination register.
B.4.299
SQRTSD
: Scalar Double-Precision FP Square Root
SQRTSD xmm1,xmm2/m128 ; F2 0F 51 /r [WILLAMETTE,SSE2]
SQRTSD
calculates the square root of the low-order double-precision FP value from the source operand, and stores the double-precision result in the destination register. The high-quadword remains unchanged.
B.4.300
SQRTSS
: Scalar Single-Precision FP Square Root
SQRTSS xmm1,xmm2/m128 ; F3 0F 51 /r [KATMAI,SSE]
SQRTSS
calculates the square root of the low-order single-precision FP value from the source operand, and stores the single-precision result in the destination register. The three high doublewords remain unchanged.
B.4.301
STC
,
STD
,
STI
: Set Flags
STC ; F9 [8086] STD ; FD [8086] STI ; FB [8086]
These instructions set various flags.
STC
sets the carry flag;
STD
sets the direction flag; and
STI
sets the interrupt flag (thus enabling interrupts).
To clear the carry, direction, or interrupt flags, use the
CLC
,
CLD
and
CLI
instructions (section B.4.20). To invert the carry flag, use
CMC
(section B.4.22).
B.4.302
STMXCSR
: Store Streaming SIMD Extension Control/Status
STMXCSR m32 ; 0F AE /3 [KATMAI,SSE]
STMXCSR
stores the contents of the
MXCSR
control/status register to the specified memory location.
MXCSR
is used to enable masked/unmasked exception handling, to set rounding modes, to set flush-to-zero mode, and to view exception status flags. The reserved bits in the
MXCSR
register are stored as 0s.
For details of the
MXCSR
register, see the Intel processor docs.

STOSB
,
STOSW
,
STOSD
: Store Byte to String
STOSB ; AA [8086] STOSW ; o16 AB [8086] STOSD ; o32 AB [386]
STOSB
stores the byte in
AL
at
[ES:DI]
or
[ES:EDI]
, and sets the flags accordingly. It then increments or decrements (depending on the direction flag: increments if the flag is clear, decrements if it is set)
DI
(or
EDI
).
The register used is
DI
if the address size is 16 bits, and
EDI
if it is 32 bits. If you need to use an address size not equal to the current
BITS
setting, you can use an explicit
a16
or
a32
prefix.
Segment override prefixes have no effect for this instruction: the use of
ES
for the store to
[DI]
or
[EDI]
cannot be overridden.
STOSW
and
STOSD
work in the same way, but they store the word in
AX
or the doubleword in
EAX
instead of the byte in
AL
, and increment or decrement the addressing registers by 2 or 4 instead of 1.
The
REP
prefix may be used to repeat the instruction
CX
(or
ECX
- again, the address size chooses which) times.
B.4.304
STR
: Store Task Register
STR r/m16 ; 0F 00 /1 [286,PRIV]
STR
stores the segment selector corresponding to the contents of the Task Register into its operand. When the operand size is a 16-bit register, the upper 16-bits are cleared to 0s. When the destination operand is a memory location, 16 bits are written regardless of the operand size.
B.4.305
SUB
: Subtract Integers
SUB r/m8,reg8 ; 28 /r [8086] SUB r/m16,reg16 ; o16 29 /r [8086] SUB r/m32,reg32 ; o32 29 /r [386]
SUB reg8,r/m8 ; 2A /r [8086] SUB reg16,r/m16 ; o16 2B /r [8086] SUB reg32,r/m32 ; o32 2B /r [386]

SUB r/m16,imm8 ; o16 83 /5 ib [8086] SUB r/m32,imm8 ; o32 83 /5 ib [386]
SUB AL,imm8 ; 2C ib [8086] SUB AX,imm16 ; o16 2D iw [8086] SUB EAX,imm32 ; o32 2D id [386]
SUB
performs integer subtraction: it subtracts its second operand from its first, and leaves the result in its destination (first) operand. The flags are set according to the result of the operation: in particular, the carry flag is affected and can be used by a subsequent
SBB
instruction (section B.4.285).
In the forms with an 8-bit immediate second operand and a longer first operand, the second operand is considered to be signed, and is sign-extended to the length of the first operand. In these cases, the
BYTE
qualifier is necessary to force NASM to generate this form of the instruction.
B.4.306
SUBPD
: Packed Double-Precision FP Subtract
SUBPD xmm1,xmm2/m128 ; 66 0F 5C /r [WILLAMETTE,SSE2]

SUBSD xmm1,xmm2/m128 ; F2 0F 5C /r [WILLAMETTE,SSE2]
SUBSD
subtracts the low-order double-precision FP value of the source operand from that of the destination operand, and stores the result in the destination operation. The high quadword is unchanged.
B.4.309
SUBSS
: Scalar Single-FP Subtract
SUBSS xmm1,xmm2/m128 ; F3 0F 5C /r [KATMAI,SSE]
SUBSS
subtracts the low-order single-precision FP value of the source operand from that of the destination operand, and stores the result in the destination operation. The three high doublewords are unchanged.
B.4.310
SVDC
: Save Segment Register and Descriptor
SVDC m80,segreg ; 0F 78 /r [486,CYRIX,SMM]
SVDC
saves a segment register (DS, ES, FS, GS, or SS) and its descriptor to mem80.

- The
EIP
register is copied into theECX
register. - Bits [31-0] of the 64-bit SYSCALL/SYSRET Target Address Register (
STAR
) are copied into theEIP
register. - Bits [47-32] of the
STAR
register specify the selector that is copied into theCS
register. - Bits [47-32]+1000b of the
STAR
register specify the selector that is copied into the SS register.
The
CS
and
SS
registers should not be modified by the operating system between the execution of the
SYSCALL
instruction and its corresponding
SYSRET
instruction.
For more information, see the
SYSCALL and SYSRET Instruction Specification
(AMD document number 21086.pdf).
B.4.314
SYSENTER
: Fast System Call
SYSENTER ; 0F 34 [P6]
SYSENTER
executes a fast call to a level 0 system procedure or routine. Before using this instruction, various MSRs need to be set up:
SYSENTER_CS_MSR
contains the 32-bit segment selector for the privilege level 0 code segment. (This value is also used to compute the segment selector of the privilege level 0 stack segment.)SYSENTER_EIP_MSR
contains the 32-bit offset into the privilege level 0 code segment to the first instruction of the selected operating procedure or routine.SYSENTER_ESP_MSR
contains the 32-bit stack pointer for the privilege level 0 stack.
SYSENTER
performs the following sequence of operations:
- Loads the segment selector from the
SYSENTER_CS_MSR
into theCS
register. - Loads the instruction pointer from the
SYSENTER_EIP_MSR
into theEIP
register. - Adds 8 to the value in
SYSENTER_CS_MSR
and loads it into theSS
register. - Loads the stack pointer from the
SYSENTER_ESP_MSR
into theESP
register. - Switches to privilege level 0.
- Clears the
VM
flag in theEFLAGS
register, if the flag is set. - Begins executing the selected system procedure.
In particular, note that this instruction des not save the values of
CS
or
(E)IP
. If you need to return to the calling code, you need to write your code to cater for this.
For more information, see the Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual, Volume 2.
B.4.315
SYSEXIT
: Fast Return From System Call
SYSEXIT ; 0F 35 [P6,PRIV]
SYSEXIT
executes a fast return to privilege level 3 user code. This instruction is a companion instruction to the
SYSENTER
instruction, and can only be executed by privilege level 0 code. Various registers need to be set up before calling this instruction:
SYSENTER_CS_MSR
contains the 32-bit segment selector for the privilege level 0 code segment in which the processor is currently executing. (This value is used to compute the segment selectors for the privilege level 3 code and stack segments.)EDX
contains the 32-bit offset into the privilege level 3 code segment to the first instruction to be executed in the user code.ECX
contains the 32-bit stack pointer for the privilege level 3 stack.
SYSEXIT
performs the following sequence of operations:
- Adds 16 to the value in
SYSENTER_CS_MSR
and loads the sum into theCS
selector register. - Loads the instruction pointer from the
EDX
register into theEIP
register. - Adds 24 to the value in
SYSENTER_CS_MSR
and loads the sum into theSS
selector register. - Loads the stack pointer from the
ECX
register into theESP
register. - Switches to privilege level 3.
- Begins executing the user code at the
EIP
address.
For more information on the use of the
SYSENTER
and
SYSEXIT
instructions, see the Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual, Volume 2.
B.4.316
SYSRET
: Return From Operating System
SYSRET ; 0F 07 [P6,AMD,PRIV]
SYSRET
is the return instruction used in conjunction with the
SYSCALL
instruction to provide fast entry/exit to an operating system.
- The
ECX
register, which points to the next sequential instruction after the correspondingSYSCALL
instruction, is copied into theEIP
register. - Bits [63-48] of the
STAR
register specify the selector that is copied into theCS
register. - Bits [63-48]+1000b of the
STAR
register specify the selector that is copied into theSS
register. - Bits [1-0] of the
SS
register are set to 11b (RPL of 3) regardless of the value of bits [49-48] of theSTAR
register.
The
CS
and
SS
registers should not be modified by the operating system between the execution of the
SYSCALL
instruction and its corresponding
SYSRET
instruction.
For more information, see the
SYSCALL and SYSRET Instruction Specification
(AMD document number 21086.pdf).
B.4.317
TEST
: Test Bits (notional bitwise AND)
TEST r/m8,reg8 ; 84 /r [8086] TEST r/m16,reg16 ; o16 85 /r [8086] TEST r/m32,reg32 ; o32 85 /r [386]
TEST r/m8,imm8 ; F6 /0 ib [8086] TEST r/m16,imm16 ; o16 F7 /0 iw [8086] TEST r/m32,imm32 ; o32 F7 /0 id [386]
TEST AL,imm8 ; A8 ib [8086] TEST AX,imm16 ; o16 A9 iw [8086] TEST EAX,imm32 ; o32 A9 id [386]
TEST
performs a `mental' bitwise AND of its two operands, and affects the flags as if the operation had taken place, but does not store the result of the operation anywhere.
B.4.318
UCOMISD
: Unordered Scalar Double-Precision FP compare and set EFLAGS
UCOMISD xmm1,xmm2/m128 ; 66 0F 2E /r [WILLAMETTE,SSE2]
UCOMISD
compares the low-order double-precision FP numbers in the two operands, and sets the
ZF
,
PF
and
CF
bits in the
EFLAGS
register. In addition, the
OF
,
SF
and
AF
bits in the
EFLAGS
register are zeroed out. The unordered predicate (
ZF
,
PF
and
CF
all set) is returned if either source operand is a
NaN
(
qNaN
or
sNaN
).

,
SF
and
AF
bits in the
EFLAGS
register are zeroed out. The unordered predicate (
ZF
,
PF
and
CF
all set) is returned if either source operand is a
NaN
(
qNaN
or
sNaN
).

UD1
,
UD2
: Undefined Instruction
UD0 ; 0F FF [186,UNDOC] UD1 ; 0F B9 [186,UNDOC] UD2 ; 0F 0B [186]
UDx
can be used to generate an invalid opcode exception, for testing purposes.
UD0
is specifically documented by AMD as being reserved for this purpose.
UD1
is documented by Intel as being available for this purpose.
UD2
is specifically documented by Intel as being reserved for this purpose. Intel document this as the preferred method of generating an invalid opcode exception.
All these opcodes can be used to generate invalid opcode exceptions on all currently available processors.
B.4.321
UMOV
: User Move Data
UMOV r/m8,reg8 ; 0F 10 /r [386,UNDOC] UMOV r/m16,reg16 ; o16 0F 11 /r [386,UNDOC] UMOV r/m32,reg32 ; o32 0F 11 /r [386,UNDOC]

This undocumented instruction is used by in-circuit emulators to access user memory (as opposed to host memory). It is used just like an ordinary memory/register or register/register
MOV
instruction, but accesses user space.
This instruction is only available on some AMD and IBM 386 and 486 processors.
B.4.322
UNPCKHPD
: Unpack and Interleave High Packed Double-Precision FP Values
UNPCKHPD xmm1,xmm2/m128 ; 66 0F 15 /r [WILLAMETTE,SSE2]
UNPCKHPD
performs an interleaved unpack of the high-order data elements of the source and destination operands, saving the result in
xmm1
. It ignores the lower half of the sources.
The operation of this instruction is:
dst[63-0] := dst[127-64]; dst[127-64] := src[127-64].
B.4.323
UNPCKHPS
: Unpack and Interleave High Packed Single-Precision FP Values
UNPCKHPS xmm1,xmm2/m128 ; 0F 15 /r [KATMAI,SSE]
UNPCKHPS
performs an interleaved unpack of the high-order data elements of the source and destination operands, saving the result in
xmm1
. It ignores the lower half of the sources.
The operation of this instruction is:
dst[31-0] := dst[95-64]; dst[63-32] := src[95-64]; dst[95-64] := dst[127-96]; dst[127-96] := src[127-96].
B.4.324
UNPCKLPD
: Unpack and Interleave Low Packed Double-Precision FP Data
UNPCKLPD xmm1,xmm2/m128 ; 66 0F 14 /r [WILLAMETTE,SSE2]
UNPCKLPD
performs an interleaved unpack of the low-order data elements of the source and destination operands, saving the result in
xmm1
. It ignores the lower half of the sources.
The operation of this instruction is:

B.4.326
VERR
,
VERW
: Verify Segment Readability/Writability
VERR r/m16 ; 0F 00 /4 [286,PRIV]
VERW r/m16 ; 0F 00 /5 [286,PRIV]
VERR
sets the zero flag if the segment specified by the selector in its operand can be read from at the current privilege level. Otherwise it is cleared.VERW
sets the zero flag if the segment can be written.
B.4.327
WAIT
: Wait for Floating-Point Processor
WAIT ; 9B [8086] FWAIT ; 9B [8086]
WAIT
, on 8086 systems with a separate 8087 FPU, waits for the FPU to have finished any operation it is engaged in before continuing main processor operations, so that (for example) an FPU store to main memory can be guaranteed to have completed before the CPU tries to read the result back out.
On higher processors,
WAIT
is unnecessary for this purpose, and it has the alternative purpose of ensuring that any pending unmasked FPU exceptions have happened before execution continues.
B.4.328
WBINVD
: Write Back and Invalidate Cache
WBINVD ; 0F 09 [486]
WBINVD
invalidates and empties the processor's internal caches, and causes the processor to instruct external caches to do the same. It writes the contents of the caches back to memory first, so no data is lost. To flush the caches quickly without bothering to write the data back first, use
INVD
(section B.4.125).
B.4.329
WRMSR
: Write Model-Specific Registers
WRMSR ; 0F 30 [PENT]
WRMSR
writes the value in
EDX:EAX
to the processor Model-Specific Register (MSR) whose index is stored in

XADD
: Exchange and Add
XADD r/m8,reg8 ; 0F C0 /r [486] XADD r/m16,reg16 ; o16 0F C1 /r [486] XADD r/m32,reg32 ; o32 0F C1 /r [486]
XADD
exchanges the values in its two operands, and then adds them together and writes the result into the destination (first) operand. This instruction can be used with a
LOCK
prefix for multi-processor synchronisation purposes.
B.4.332
XBTS
: Extract Bit String
XBTS reg16,r/m16 ; o16 0F A6 /r [386,UNDOC] XBTS reg32,r/m32 ; o32 0F A6 /r [386,UNDOC]
The implied operation of this instruction is:
XBTS r/m16,reg16,AX,CL XBTS r/m32,reg32,EAX,CL
Writes a bit string from the source operand to the destination.
CL
indicates the number of bits to be copied, and
(E)AX
indicates the low order bit offset in the source. The bits are written to the low order bits of the destination register. For example, if
CL
is set to 4 and
AX
(for 16-bit code) is set to 5, bits 5-8 of
src
will be copied to bits 0-3 of
dst
. This instruction is very poorly documented, and I have been unable to find any official source of documentation on it.
XBTS
is supported only on the early Intel 386s, and conflicts with the opcodes for
CMPXCHG486
(on early Intel 486s). NASM supports it only for completeness. Its counterpart is
IBTS
(see section B.4.116).
B.4.333
XCHG
: Exchange
XCHG reg8,r/m8 ; 86 /r [8086] XCHG reg16,r/m8 ; o16 87 /r [8086] XCHG reg32,r/m32 ; o32 87 /r [386]
XCHG r/m8,reg8 ; 86 /r [8086] XCHG r/m16,reg16 ; o16 87 /r [8086] XCHG r/m32,reg32 ; o32 87 /r [386]
XCHG AX,reg16 ; o16 90+r [8086] XCHG EAX,reg32 ; o32 90+r [386] XCHG reg16,AX ; o16 90+r [8086] XCHG reg32,EAX ; o32 90+r [386]
XCHG
exchanges the values in its two operands. It can be used with a
LOCK
prefix for purposes of multi-processor synchronisation.
XCHG AX,AX
or
XCHG EAX,EAX
(depending on the
BITS
setting) generates the opcode
90h
, and so is a synonym for
NOP
(section B.4.190).
B.4.334
XLATB
: Translate Byte in Lookup Table
XLAT ; D7 [8086] XLATB ; D7 [8086]
XLATB
adds the value in
AL
, treated as an unsigned byte, to
BX
or
EBX
, and loads the byte from the resulting address (in the segment specified by
DS
) back into
AL
.
The base register used is
BX
if the address size is 16 bits, and
EBX
if it is 32 bits. If you need to use an address size not equal to the current
BITS
setting, you can use an explicit
a16
or
a32
prefix.
The segment register used to load from
[BX+AL]
or
[EBX+AL]
can be overridden by using a segment register name as a prefix (for example,
es xlatb
).
B.4.335
XOR
: Bitwise Exclusive OR
XOR r/m8,reg8 ; 30 /r [8086] XOR r/m16,reg16 ; o16 31 /r [8086] XOR r/m32,reg32 ; o32 31 /r [386]

XOR r/m16,imm8 ; o16 83 /6 ib [8086] XOR r/m32,imm8 ; o32 83 /6 ib [386]
XOR AL,imm8 ; 34 ib [8086] XOR AX,imm16 ; o16 35 iw [8086] XOR EAX,imm32 ; o32 35 id [386]
XOR
performs a bitwise XOR operation between its two operands (i.e. each bit of the result is 1 if and only if exactly one of the corresponding bits of the two inputs was 1), and stores the result in the destination (first) operand.
In the forms with an 8-bit immediate second operand and a longer first operand, the second operand is considered to be signed, and is sign-extended to the length of the first operand. In these cases, the
BYTE
qualifier is necessary to force NASM to generate this form of the instruction.
The
MMX
instruction
PXOR
(see section B.4.266) performs the same operation on the 64-bit
MMX
registers.
B.4.336
XORPD
: Bitwise Logical XOR of Double-Precision FP Values
XORPD xmm1,xmm2/m128 ; 66 0F 57 /r [WILLAMETTE,SSE2]
XORPD
returns a bit-wise logical XOR between the source and destination operands, storing the result in the destination operand.
B.4.337
XORPS
: Bitwise Logical XOR of Single-Precision FP Values
XORPS xmm1,xmm2/m128 ; 0F 57 /r [KATMAI,SSE]
XORPS
returns a bit-wise logical XOR between the source and destination operands, storing the result in the destination operand.
