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 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

Copies the contents of the source operand (register or memory location) to the destination operand (register) and zero extends the value. The size of the converted value depends on the operand-size attribute.

In 64-bit mode, the instruction's 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 bit operands. See the summary chart at the beginning of this section for encoding data and limits.

Operation

DEST := ZeroExtend(SRC);

Flags affected

None.

Exceptions

Protected mode
#GP(0)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 contains a NULL segment 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.
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.
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.
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.
