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.

M

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

O

  1. opcode.reg lectura y escrituralow three bits of the opcode byte itself

Description

Adds 1 to the destination operand, while preserving the state of the CF flag. The destination operand can be a register or a memory location. This instruction allows a loop counter to be updated without disturbing the CF flag. (Use a ADD instruction with an immediate operand of 1 to perform an increment operation that does updates the CF flag.)

This instruction can be used with a LOCK prefix to allow the instruction to be executed atomically.

In 64-bit mode, INC r16 and INC r32 are not encodable (because opcodes 40H through 47H are REX prefixes). Otherwise, the instruction's 64-bit mode default operation size is 32 bits. Use of the REX.R prefix permits access to additional registers (R8-R15). Use of the REX.W prefix promotes operation to 64 bits.

Operation

DEST := DEST + 1;

Flags affected

The CF flag is not affected. The OF, SF, ZF, AF, and PF flags are set according to the result.

Exceptions

Protected mode
#GP(0)If the destination operand is located in a non-writable segment. If a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segment limit. If the DS, ES, FS, or GS register is used to access memory and it contains a NULLsegment selector.
#SS(0)If a memory operand effective address is outside the SS segment limit. #PF(fault-code) If a page fault occurs.
#AC(0)If alignment checking is enabled and an unaligned memory reference is made while the current privilege level is 3.
#UDIf the LOCK prefix is used but the destination is not a memory operand.
Real address mode
#GPIf a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segment limit.
#SSIf a memory operand effective address is outside the SS segment limit.
#UDIf the LOCK prefix is used but the destination is not a memory operand.
Virtual-8086 mode
#GP(0)If a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segment limit.
#SS(0)If a memory operand effective address is outside the SS segment limit. #PF(fault-code) If a page fault occurs.
#AC(0)If alignment checking is enabled and an unaligned memory reference is made.
#UDIf the LOCK prefix is used but the destination is not a memory operand.
Compatibility mode
Same exceptions as in protected mode.
64-bit mode
#SS(0)If a memory address referencing the SS segment is in a non-canonical form.
#GP(0)If the memory address is in a non-canonical form. #PF(fault-code) If a page fault occurs.
#AC(0)If alignment checking is enabled and an unaligned memory reference is made while the current privilege level is 3.
#UDIf the LOCK prefix is used but the destination is not a memory operand.
