问题描述
《英特尔软件开发手册》关于neg指令的内容是这样的:
The Intel Software Development Manual says this about the neg instruction:
我认为将AF和CF设置为好像由neg %eax替换为
I thought that AF and CF would be set as if neg %eax were replaced by,
not %eax # bitwise negation
add $1, %eax
但是事实并非如此，在实际CPU上取反0x6ffffef5会设置AF和CF.
But that's not the case, negating 0x6ffffef5 on a real CPU sets AF and CF.
推荐答案
neg将所有标志设置为与sub从0开始获得的标志相同.
neg sets all flags identically to what you'd get with a sub from 0.
此指令序列将所有标志(包括AF和CF)设置为与neg %eax相同:
This sequence of instructions sets all flags (including AF and CF) identically to neg %eax:
xor %ecx, %ecx
sub %eax, %ecx # ecx = 0 - eax
英特尔文档确实确实指定了此内容，但没有在neg本身的指令集参考(第2卷)条目的伪代码操作"部分或受标志影响的部分中指定.
Intel's documentation does actually specify this, but not in the pseudo-code Operation section or in the flags-affected section of the instruction-set reference (Volume 2) entry for neg itself.
neg 的描述"部分的文本包括此块:
The text of the Description section for neg includes this nugget:
并且在第1卷:
[有关CMP的段落]
[a paragraph about CMP]
NEG(取反)指令从零中减去有符号整数操作数.
，其措辞不那么直接.
The existence of this documentation was pointed out by a comment on an earlier duplicate of this question which isn't as directly worded.
我不知道第1卷的整个章节都对说明进行了说明.事实证明，第2卷insn集合参考中并没有提到Intel关于单个指令的所有内容.
I didn't know that vol.1 had a whole section explaining the instructions. It turns out that not everything Intel has to say about individual instructions is in the Volume 2 insn set reference.
有证据表明，neg在内部解码为与Intel CPU上的sub指令相同的uop. (例如，neg [mem]可以与ALU op微融合负载，以及微融合存储地址和存储数据uops.inc [mem]只能微融合存储，因此总共有3个融合域哦.
There's some evidence that neg decodes internally to the same uop as a sub instruction on Intel CPUs. (e.g. neg [mem] can micro-fuse the load with the ALU op, as well as micro-fusing the store-address and store-data uops. inc [mem] can only micro-fuse the store, so it's 3 total fused-domain uops).
