<h4 class="subsection">9.13.4 Instruction Naming</h4>

Instruction mnemonics are suffixed with one character modifiers which
|
|
specify the size of operands. The letters <span class="samp">b</span>, <span class="samp">w</span>, <span class="samp">l</span>
|
|
and <span class="samp">q</span> specify byte, word, long and quadruple word operands. If
|
|
no suffix is specified by an instruction then <code>as</code> tries to
|
|
fill in the missing suffix based on the destination register operand
|
|
(the last one by convention). Thus, <span class="samp">mov %ax, %bx</span> is equivalent
|
|
to <span class="samp">movw %ax, %bx</span>; also, <span class="samp">mov $1, %bx</span> is equivalent to
|
|
<span class="samp">movw $1, bx</span>. Note that this is incompatible with the AT&T Unix
|
|
assembler which assumes that a missing mnemonic suffix implies long
|
|
operand size. (This incompatibility does not affect compiler output
|
|
since compilers always explicitly specify the mnemonic suffix.)
|
|
|
|
<p>Almost all instructions have the same names in AT&T and Intel format.
|
|
There are a few exceptions. The sign extend and zero extend
|
|
instructions need two sizes to specify them. They need a size to
|
|
sign/zero extend <em>from</em> and a size to zero extend <em>to</em>. This
|
|
is accomplished by using two instruction mnemonic suffixes in AT&T
|
|
syntax. Base names for sign extend and zero extend are
|
|
<span class="samp">movs...</span> and <span class="samp">movz...</span> in AT&T syntax (<span class="samp">movsx</span>
|
|
and <span class="samp">movzx</span> in Intel syntax). The instruction mnemonic suffixes
|
|
are tacked on to this base name, the <em>from</em> suffix before the
|
|
<em>to</em> suffix. Thus, <span class="samp">movsbl %al, %edx</span> is AT&T syntax for
|
|
“move sign extend <em>from</em> %al <em>to</em> %edx.” Possible suffixes,
|
|
thus, are <span class="samp">bl</span> (from byte to long), <span class="samp">bw</span> (from byte to word),
|
|
<span class="samp">wl</span> (from word to long), <span class="samp">bq</span> (from byte to quadruple word),
|
|
<span class="samp">wq</span> (from word to quadruple word), and <span class="samp">lq</span> (from long to
|
|
quadruple word).

<code>as</code> supports assembly using Intel mnemonic.
|
|
<code>.intel_mnemonic</code> selects Intel mnemonic with Intel syntax, and
|
|
<code>.att_mnemonic</code> switches back to the usual AT&T mnemonic with AT&T
|
|
syntax for compatibility with the output of <code>gcc</code>.
|
|
Several x87 instructions, <span class="samp">fadd</span>, <span class="samp">fdiv</span>, <span class="samp">fdivp</span>,
|
|
<span class="samp">fdivr</span>, <span class="samp">fdivrp</span>, <span class="samp">fmul</span>, <span class="samp">fsub</span>, <span class="samp">fsubp</span>,
|
|
<span class="samp">fsubr</span> and <span class="samp">fsubrp</span>, are implemented in AT&T System V/386
|
|
assembler with different mnemonics from those in Intel IA32 specification.
|
|
<code>gcc</code> generates those instructions with AT&T mnemonic.
