x86mul.bu
LBT intrinsic · group: x86 Integer
Synopsis
Instruction: x86mul.bu rj, rk
CPU Flags: LBT
Description
x86-style multiply: multiply unsigned 8-bit values in rj and rk. Set CF and OF if overflow (result does not fit in 8-bits), clear other flags. Only EFLAGS (LBT4) is updated; the GPR is not modified.
Operation
uint8_t lhs = (uint8_t)a;
uint8_t rhs = (uint8_t)b;
unsigned __int128 product =
(unsigned __int128)(uint8_t)lhs * (unsigned __int128)(uint8_t)rhs;
bool overflow = (product >> 8) != 0;
EFLAGS.CF = overflow;
EFLAGS.OF = overflow;
EFLAGS.SF = 0;
EFLAGS.ZF = 0;
EFLAGS.AF = 0;
EFLAGS.PF = 0;
