|
||
|
|
instructions that deserves mention. The 16-, 32-, 64- and 128-bit expanding
|
||
|
|
multiplies (base opcode ‘<samp><span class="samp">0xf6</span></samp>’; extension 4 for ‘<samp><span class="samp">mul</span></samp>’ and 5
|
||
|
|
for ‘<samp><span class="samp">imul</span></samp>’) can be output only in the one operand form. Thus,
|
||
|
|
‘<samp><span class="samp">imul %ebx, %eax</span></samp>’ does <em>not</em> select the expanding multiply;
|
||
|
|
the expanding multiply would clobber the ‘<samp><span class="samp">%edx</span></samp>’ register, and this
|
||
|
|
would confuse <code>gcc</code> output. Use ‘<samp><span class="samp">imul %ebx</span></samp>’ to get the
|
||
|
|
64-bit product in ‘<samp><span class="samp">%edx:%eax</span></samp>’.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>We have added a two operand form of ‘<samp><span class="samp">imul</span></samp>’ when the first operand
|
||
|
|
is an immediate mode expression and the second operand is a register.
|
||
|
|
This is just a shorthand, so that, multiplying ‘<samp><span class="samp">%eax</span></samp>’ by 69, for
|
||
|
|
example, can be done with ‘<samp><span class="samp">imul $69, %eax</span></samp>’ rather than ‘<samp><span class="samp">imul
|
||
|
|
$69, %eax, %eax</span></samp>’.
