image/svg+xml XOR—Logical Exclusive OR Instruction Operand Encoding Description Performs a bitwise exclusive OR (XOR) operation on the destination (first) and source (second) operands and stores the result in the destination operand location. The source operand can be an immediate, a register, or a memory location; the destination operand can be a register or a memory location. (However, two memory oper- ands cannot be used in one instruction.) Each bit of the result is 1 if the corresponding bits of the operands are different; each bit is 0 if the corresponding bits are the same. This instruction can be used with a LOCK prefix to allow the instruction to be executed atomically.

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. Operation DEST := DEST XOR SRC; Flags Affected The OF and CF flags are cleared; the SF, ZF, and PF flags are set according to the result. The state of the AF flag is undefined. Protected Mode Exceptions #GP(0)If the destination operand points to a non-writable segment. 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 but the destination is not a memory operand. Real-Address Mode Exceptions #GPIf a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segment limit. #SSIf a memory operand effective address is outside the SS segment limit. #UD If the LOCK prefix is used but the destination is not a memory operand. Virtual-8086 Mode Exceptions #GP(0)If a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segment limit. #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. #UD If the LOCK prefix is used but the destination is not a memory operand. Compatibility Mode Exceptions Same exceptions as in protected mode. 64-Bit Mode Exceptions #SS(0)If a memory address referencing the SS segment is in a non-canonical form. #GP(0)If the memory address is in a non-canonical form. #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 but the destination is not a memory operand.
