Opcode/Instruction	Op/En	64/32 bit Mode Support	CPUID Feature Flag	Description
F3 0F 1B /r BNDMK bnd, m32	RM	NE/V	MPX	Make lower and upper bounds from m32 and store them in bnd.
F3 0F 1B /r BNDMK bnd, m64	RM	V/NE	MPX	Make lower and upper bounds from m64 and store them in bnd.

Description

Makes bounds from the second operand and stores the lower and upper bounds in the bound register bnd. The second operand must be a memory operand. The content of the base register from the memory operand is stored in the lower bound bnd.LB. The 1's complement of the effective address of m32/m64 is stored in the upper bound b.UB. Computation of m32/m64 has identical behavior to LEA.

This instruction does not cause any memory access, and does not read or write any flags.

If the instruction did not specify base register, the lower bound will be zero. The reg-reg form of this instruction retains legacy behavior (NOP).

RIP relative instruction in 64-bit will #UD.

Operation

BND.LB (cid:197) SRCMEM.base;
IF 64-bit mode Then
    BND.UB (cid:197) NOT(LEA.64_bits(SRCMEM));
ELSE
    BND.UB (cid:197) Zero_Extend.64_bits(NOT(LEA.32_bits(SRCMEM)));
FI;

Real-Address Mode Exceptions

#UD	If ModRM is RIP relative. If the LOCK prefix is used. If ModRM.r/m encodes BND4-BND7 when Intel MPX is enabled. If 16-bit addressing is used.

Virtual-8086 Mode Exceptions

#UD	If ModRM is RIP relative. If the LOCK prefix is used. If ModRM.r/m encodes BND4-BND7 when Intel MPX is enabled. If 16-bit addressing is used.

Compatibility Mode Exceptions

Same exceptions as in protected mode.

64-Bit Mode Exceptions

#UD	If ModRM.r/m and REX encodes BND4-BND15 when Intel MPX is enabled.
#SS(0)	If the memory address referencing the SS segment is in a non-canonical form.
#GP(0)	If the memory address is in a non-canonical form.

Same exceptions as in protected mode.
