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.

I

  1. AL/AX/EAX/RAX
  2. imm8/16/32immediate after the instruction, as wide as the operand

MI

  1. modrm.rm escrituraModRM byte, r/m field (bits 2-0); with the SIB byte and the displacement when the mod field asks for them
  2. imm8/16/32immediate after the instruction, as wide as the operand

MR

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

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

Adds the source operand (second operand) and the carry (CF) flag, and subtracts the result from the destination operand (first operand). The result of the subtraction is stored in the destination operand. The destination operand can be a register or a memory location; the source operand can be an immediate, a register, or a memory location. (However, two memory operands cannot be used in one instruction.) The state of the CF flag represents a borrow from a previous subtraction.

When an immediate value is used as an operand, it is sign-extended to the length of the destination operand format.

The SBB instruction does not distinguish between signed or unsigned operands. Instead, the processor evaluates the result for both data types and sets the OF and CF flags to indicate a borrow in the signed or unsigned result, respectively. The SF flag indicates the sign of the signed result.

The SBB instruction is usually executed as part of a multibyte or multiword subtraction in which a SUB instruction is followed by a SBB instruction.

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

In 64-bit mode, the instruction's default operation size is 32 bits. Using a REX prefix in the form of REX.R permits access to additional registers (R8-R15). Using a REX prefix in the form of REX.W promotes operation to 64 bits. See the summary chart at the beginning of this section for encoding data and limits.

Operation

DEST := (DEST  (SRC + CF));

Intel C/C++ compiler intrinsics

SBB extern unsigned char _subborrow_u8(unsigned char c_in, unsigned char src1, unsigned char src2, unsigned char *diff_out);
SBB extern unsigned char _subborrow_u16(unsigned char c_in, unsigned short src1, unsigned short src2, unsigned short *diff_out);
SBB extern unsigned char _subborrow_u32(unsigned char c_in, unsigned int src1, unsigned char int, unsigned int *diff_out);
SBB extern unsigned char _subborrow_u64(unsigned char c_in, unsigned __int64 src1, unsigned __int64 src2, unsigned __int64 *diff_out);

Flags affected

The OF, SF, ZF, AF, PF, and CF flags are set according to the result.

Exceptions

Protected mode
#GP(0)If the destination 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 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 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.
