Forms
| Instruction | Encoding | Requires |
|---|---|---|
MOVDIRI m32, r32
MOVDIRI_MEMu32_GPR32u32 | NP 0F 38 F9 /r | MOVDIRI |
MOVDIRI m64, r64 64-bit mode only
MOVDIRI_MEMu64_GPR64u64 | REX.W 0F 38 F9 /r | MOVDIRI |
MOVDIRI m32/64, r32/64
MOVDIRI_MEMyu_GPRyu_APX | EVEX.LLZ.NP.MAP4.SCALABLE F9 /r | APX_F + MOVDIRI |
Intrinsics
The C intrinsics of Clang 23.1.2 that compile to MOVDIRI, each with the form it compiles to and the Clang options it needs. The forms come from compiling every intrinsic and decoding the result with Intel XED; all intrinsics A–Z explains the method.
| Intrinsic | Compiles to |
|---|---|
_directstoreu_u32
void _directstoreu_u32(void *__dst, unsigned int __value) |
|
_directstoreu_u64
void _directstoreu_u64(void *__dst, unsigned long __value) |
|
CPUID and processors
Each form belongs to an XED ISA set. A form can be used when the processor reports every CPUID bit of one of its ISA set's alternatives.
| ISA set | CPUID | Processors in XED |
|---|---|---|
MOVDIRI | MOVDIRI | Tiger Lake, Alder Lake, Arrow Lake, Panther Lake, Nova Lake, Sapphire Rapids, Emerald Rapids, Granite Rapids, Diamond Rapids, Snow Ridge, Sierra Forest, Clearwater Forest |
APX_F_MOVDIRI | APX_F + MOVDIRI | Nova Lake, Diamond Rapids |
