Operand encoding

Each mode is a value of the Op/En column above. It says which field of the encoded instruction carries each operand, in the order they are written, and whether the instruction reads it, writes it or both.

RM

  1. modrm.reg lectura y escrituraModRM byte, reg field (bits 5-3)
  2. modrm.rm lecturaModRM byte, r/m field (bits 2-0); with the SIB byte and the displacement when the mod field asks for them

Description

Performs an unsigned addition of the destination operand (first operand), the source operand (second operand) and the carry-flag (CF) and stores the result in the destination operand. The destination operand is a generalpurpose register, whereas the source operand can be a general-purpose register or memory location. The state of CF can represent a carry from a previous addition. The instruction sets the CF flag with the carry generated by the unsigned addition of the operands.

The ADCX instruction is executed in the context of multi-precision addition, where we add a series of operands with a carry-chain. At the beginning of a chain of additions, we need to make sure the CF is in a desired initial state. Often, this initial state needs to be 0, which can be achieved with an instruction to zero the CF (e.g., XOR).

This instruction is supported in real mode and virtual-8086 mode. The operand size is always 32 bits if not in 64-bit mode.

In 64-bit mode, the default operation size is 32 bits. Using a REX Prefix in the form of REX.R permits access to additional registers (R8-15). Using REX Prefix in the form of REX.W promotes operation to 64 bits.

ADCX executes normally either inside or outside a transaction region. Note: ADCX defines the OF flag differently than the ADD/ADC instructions as defined in the Intel(R) 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual, Volume 2A.

Operation

IF OperandSize is 64-bit

    THEN CF:DEST[63:0] := DEST[63:0] + SRC[63:0] + CF;
    ELSE CF:DEST[31:0] := DEST[31:0] + SRC[31:0] + CF;
FI;

Flags affected

CF is updated based on result. OF, SF, ZF, AF, and PF flags are unmodified.

Compatibility mode
Same exceptions as in protected mode.
