INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
The following sections list instructions in each major group and subgroup. Given for
each instruction is its mnemonic and descriptive names. When two or more
mnemonics are given (for example, CMOVA/CMOVNBE), they represent different
mnemonics for the same instruction opcode. Assemblers support redundant
mnemonics for some instructions to make it easier to read code listings. For instance,
CMOVA (Conditional move if above) and CMOVNBE (Conditional move if not below or
equal) represent the same condition. For detailed information about specific instruc-
tions, see the Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual,
Volumes 3A & 3B.
5.1 GENERAL-PURPOSE INSTRUCTIONS
The general-purpose instructions preform basic data movement, arithmetic, logic,
program flow, and string operations that programmers commonly use to write appli-
cation and system software to run on Intel 64 and IA-32 processors. They operate on
data contained in memory, in the general-purpose registers (EAX, EBX, ECX, EDX,
EDI, ESI, EBP, and ESP) and in the EFLAGS register. They also operate on address
information contained in memory, the general-purpose registers, and the segment
registers (CS, DS, SS, ES, FS, and GS).
This group of instructions includes the data transfer, binary integer arithmetic,
decimal arithmetic, logic operations, shift and rotate, bit and byte operations,
program control, string, flag control, segment register operations, and miscellaneous
subgroups. The sections that following introduce each subgroup.
