Description

Performs an unsigned addition of the destination operand (first operand), the source operand (second operand) and the overflow-flag (OF) and stores the result in the destination operand. The destination operand is a general-purpose register, whereas the source operand can be a general-purpose register or memory location. The state of OF represents a carry from a previous addition. The instruction sets the OF flag with the carry generated by the unsigned addition of the operands.

The ADOX instruction is executed in the context of multi-precision addition, where we add a series of operands with a carry-chain. At the beginning of a chain of additions, we execute an instruction to zero the OF (e.g. XOR).

This instruction is supported in real mode and virtual-8086 mode. The operand size is always 32 bits if not in 64-bit mode.

In 64-bit mode, the default operation size is 32 bits. Using a REX Prefix in the form of REX.R permits access to additional registers (R8-15). Using REX Prefix in the form of REX.W promotes operation to 64-bits.

ADOX executes normally either inside or outside a transaction region.

Note: ADOX defines the CF and OF flags differently than the ADD/ADC instructions as defined in Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual, Volume 2A.

Operation

IF OperandSize is 64-bit
    THEN OF:DEST[63:0] ← DEST[63:0] + SRC[63:0] + OF;
    ELSE OF:DEST[31:0] ← DEST[31:0] + SRC[31:0] + OF;
FI;

Flags Affected

OF is updated based on result. CF, SF, ZF, AF and PF flags are unmodified.
