x86mul.w

LBT intrinsic · group: x86 Integer

Synopsis

Instruction: x86mul.w rj, rk
CPU Flags: LBT

Description

x86-style multiply: multiply signed 32-bit values in rj and rk. Set CF and OF if overflow (result does not fit in 32-bits), clear other flags. Only EFLAGS (LBT4) is updated; the GPR is not modified.

Operation

uint32_t lhs = (uint32_t)a;
uint32_t rhs = (uint32_t)b;
__int128 product = (__int128)(int32_t)lhs * (__int128)(int32_t)rhs;
bool overflow = product < (__int128)INT32_MIN || product > (__int128)INT32_MAX;
EFLAGS.CF = overflow;
EFLAGS.OF = overflow;
EFLAGS.SF = 0;
EFLAGS.ZF = 0;
EFLAGS.AF = 0;
EFLAGS.PF = 0;

Tested on real machine.
