Description

BNDMOV moves a pair of lower and upper bound values from the source operand (the second operand) to the destination (the first operand). Each operation is 128-bit move. The exceptions are same as the MOV instruction. The memory format for loading/store bounds in 64-bit mode is shown in Figure 3-5.

Operation

BNDMOV register to register

DEST.LB ← SRC.LB;
DEST.UB ← SRC.UB;

BNDMOV from memory

IF 64-bit mode THEN
        DEST.LB ← LOAD_QWORD(SRC);
        DEST.UB ← LOAD_QWORD(SRC+8);
    ELSE
        DEST.LB ← LOAD_DWORD_ZERO_EXT(SRC);
        DEST.UB ← LOAD_DWORD_ZERO_EXT(SRC+4);
FI;

BNDMOV to memory

IF 64-bit mode THEN
        DEST[63:0] ← SRC.LB;
        DEST[127:64] ← SRC.UB;
    ELSE
        DEST[31:0] ← SRC.LB;
        DEST[63:32] ← SRC.UB;
FI;
