Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developers Manual Volume 2B, Instruction Set Reference, N-Z

4-412 Vol. 2B
INSTRUCTION SET REFERENCE, N-Z
corresponding bits of the operands are different; each bit is 0 if the corresponding
bits are the same.
This instruction can be used with a LOCK prefix to allow the instruction to be
executed atomically.
In 64-bit mode, 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 XOR SRC;
Flags Affected
The OF and CF flags are cleared; the SF, ZF, and PF flags are set according to the
result. The state of the AF flag is undefined.
Protected Mode Exceptions
#GP(0) If the destination operand points to 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.
Real-Address Mode Exceptions
#GP If a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS,
ES, FS, or GS segment limit.
#SS If a memory operand effective address is outside the SS
segment limit.
Virtual-8086 Mode Exceptions
#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.
