image/svg+xmlBSF—Bit Scan ForwardInstruction Operand EncodingDescriptionSearches the source operand (second operand) for the least significant set bit (1 bit). If a least significant 1 bit is found, its bit index is stored in the destination operand (first operand). The source operand can be a register or a memory location; the destination operand is a register. The bit index is an unsigned offset from bit 0 of the source operand. If the content of the source operand is 0, the content of the destination operand is undefined.In 64-bit mode, the instruction’s default operation size is 32 bits. Using a REX prefix in the form of REX.R permits access to additional registers (R8-R15). Using a REX prefix in the form of REX.W promotes operation to 64 bits. See the summary chart at the beginning of this section for encoding data and limits.OperationIF SRC = 0THENZF := 1;DEST is undefined;ELSEZF := 0;temp := 0;WHILE Bit(SRC, temp) = 0DOtemp := temp + 1;OD;DEST := temp;FI;Flags AffectedThe ZF flag is set to 1 if the source operand is 0; otherwise, the ZF flag is cleared. The CF, OF, SF, AF, and PF flags are undefined.Protected Mode Exceptions#GP(0)If a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segment limit.If the DS, ES, FS, or GS register contains a NULL segment selector.#SS(0)If a memory operand effective address is outside the SS segment limit.#PF(fault-code)If a page fault occurs.#AC(0)If alignment checking is enabled and an unaligned memory reference is made while the current privilege level is 3.#UD If the LOCK prefix is used.OpcodeInstructionOp/ En64-bit ModeCompat/Leg ModeDescription0F BC /rBSF r16, r/m16RMValidValidBit scan forward on r/m16.0F BC /rBSF r32, r/m32RMValidValidBit scan forward on r/m32.REX.W + 0F BC /rBSF r64, r/m64RMValidN.E.Bit scan forward on r/m64.Op/EnOperand 1Operand 2Operand 3Operand 4RMModRM:reg (w)ModRM:r/m (r)NANA
