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 (cid:197) SRC.LB;
DEST.UB (cid:197) SRC.UB;

BNDMOV from memory

IF 64-bit mode THEN
         DEST.LB (cid:197) LOAD_QWORD(SRC);
         DEST.UB (cid:197) LOAD_QWORD(SRC+8);
    ELSE
         DEST.LB (cid:197) LOAD_DWORD_ZERO_EXT(SRC);
         DEST.UB (cid:197) LOAD_DWORD_ZERO_EXT(SRC+4);
FI;

BNDMOV to memory

IF 64-bit mode THEN
         DEST[63:0] (cid:197) SRC.LB;
         DEST[127:64] (cid:197) SRC.UB;
    ELSE
         DEST[31:0] (cid:197) SRC.LB;
         DEST[63:32] (cid:197) SRC.UB;
FI;

Protected Mode Exceptions

#UD	If the LOCK prefix is used but the destination is not a memory operand. If ModRM.r/m encodes BND4-BND7 when Intel MPX is enabled. If 67H prefix is not used and CS.D=0. If 67H prefix is used and CS.D=1.
#SS(0)	If the memory operand effective address is outside the SS segment limit.
#GP(0)	If the memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segment limit. If the destination operand points to a non-writable segment If the DS, ES, FS, or GS segment register contains a NULL segment selector.
#AC(0)	If alignment checking is enabled and an unaligned memory reference is made while CPL is 3.
#PF(fault code)	If a page fault occurs.
