Bit Line Create Isolated

BLCI r32, r/m32

Sets all bits to 0 except the lowest set bit inverted (x | ~(x+1)).

Details

Computes (src | ~(src+1)) and stores the result in dest, isolating all bits except the lowest set bit (which is inverted). Part of the TBM (Trailing Bit Manipulation) extension; sets flags based on the result: ZF if result is zero, SF based on sign bit, and CF/OF/PF are undefined. Available in 32-bit and 64-bit variants.

Pseudocode Operation

result ← src | ~(src + 1); dest ← result; ZF ← (result == 0); SF ← result[31]; CF ← undefined; OF ← undefined; PF ← undefined;

BLCI eax, ebx

Description

Finds the least significant zero bit in the source operand, sets all other bits to 1 and writes the result to the destination. If there is no zero bit in the source operand, the destination is written with all ones. This instruction has two operands: BLCI dest, src In 64-bit mode, the operand size is determined by the value of XOP.W. If XOP.W is 1, the operand size is 64-bit; if XOP.W is 0, the operand size is 32-bit. In 32-bit mode, XOP.W is ignored. 16-bit operands are not supported. The destination (dest) is a general purpose register. The source operand (src) is a general purpose register or a memory operand. The BLCI instruction effectively performs a bit-wise logical or of the source operand and the inverse of the result of incrementing the source operand by 1, and stores the result to the destination register: add tmp, src, 1 not tmp, tmp or dest, tmp, src The value of the carry flag of rFLAGS is generated according to the result of the add pseudoinstruction and the remaining arithmetic flags are generated by the or pseudo-instruction. The BLCI instruction is a TBM instruction. Support for this instruction is indicated by CPUID Fn8000_0001_ECX[TBM] = 1. For more information on using the CPUID instruction, see the instruction reference page for the CPUID instruction on page 165.
