INSTRUCTION SET REFERENCE
ADD—Add
Description
This instruction adds the first operand (destination operand) and the second operand (source
operand) and stores the result in the destination operand. The destination operand can be a
register or a memory location; the source operand can be an immediate, a register, or a memory
location. (However, two memory operands cannot be used in one instruction.) When an imme-
diate value is used as an operand, it is sign-extended to the length of the destination operand
format.
The ADD instruction does not distinguish between signed or unsigned operands. Instead, the
processor evaluates the result for both data types and sets the OF and CF flags to indicate a carry
in the signed or unsigned result, respectively. The SF flag indicates the sign of the signed result.
Operation
DEST
<
DEST + SRC;
Flags Affected
The OF, SF, ZF, AF, CF, and PF flags are set according to the result.
