Description
Each rotate instruction shifts the bits of the register or memory operand
given. The left rotate instructions shift all the bits upward, except for
the top bit, which is returned to the bottom. The right rotate instructions
do the reverse: the bits shift downward until the bottom bit arrives at
the top.
For the RCL and RCR instructions, the carry flag is part of the rotated
quantity. RCL shifts the carry flag into the bottom bit and shifts the top
bit into the carry flag; RCR shifts the carry flag into the top bit and
shifts the bottom bit into the carry flag. For the ROL and ROR
instructions, the original value of the carry flag is not a part of the
result, but the carry flag receives a copy of the bit that was shifted from
one end to the other.
The rotate is repeated the number of times indicated by the second
operand, which is either an immediate number or the contents of the CL
register. To reduce the maximum instruction execution time, the 80386
does not allow rotation counts greater than 31. If a rotation count greater
than 31 is attempted, only the bottom five bits of the rotation are used.
The 8086 does not mask rotation counts. The 80386 in Virtual 8086 Mode does
mask rotation counts.
The overflow flag is defined only for the single-rotate forms of the
instructions (second operand = 1). It is undefined in all other cases. For
left shifts/rotates, the CF bit after the shift is XORed with the
high-order result bit. For right shifts/rotates, the high-order two bits of
the result are XORed to get OF.
Flags Affected
OF only for single rotates; OF is undefined for multi-bit rotates; CF as
described above
Protected Mode Exceptions
#GP(0) if the result is in a nonwritable segment; #GP(0) for an illegal
memory operand effective address in the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS
segments; #SS(0) for an illegal address in the SS segment; #PF(fault-code)
for a page fault
Real Address Mode Exceptions
Interrupt 13 if any part of the operand would lie outside of the effective
address space from 0 to 0FFFFH
Virtual 8086 Mode Exceptions
Same exceptions as in Real Address Mode; #PF(fault-code) for a page
fault
