BLSI—Extract Lowest Set Isolated Bit

Opcode/Instruction Op/En 64/32-bit Mode CPUID Feature Flag Description
VEX.LZ.0F38.W0 F3 /3 BLSI r32, r/m32 VM V/V BMI1 Extract lowest set bit from r/m32 and set that bit in r32.
VEX.LZ.0F38.W1 F3 /3 BLSI r64, r/m64 VM V/N.E. BMI1 Extract lowest set bit from r/m64, and set that bit in r64.

Instruction Operand Encoding

Op/En Operand 1 Operand 2 Operand 3 Operand 4
VM VEX.vvvv (w) ModRM:r/m (r) N/A N/A

Description

Extracts the lowest set bit from the source operand and set the corresponding bit in the destination register. All other bits in the destination operand are zeroed. If no bits are set in the source operand, BLSI sets all the bits in the destination to 0 and sets ZF and CF.

This instruction is not supported in real mode and virtual-8086 mode. The operand size is always 32 bits if not in 64-bit mode. In 64-bit mode operand size 64 requires VEX.W1. VEX.W1 is ignored in non-64-bit modes. An attempt to execute this instruction with VEX.L not equal to 0 will cause #UD.

Operation

temp := (-SRC) bitwiseAND (SRC);
SF := temp[OperandSize -1];
ZF := (temp = 0);
IF SRC = 0
    CF := 0;
ELSE
    CF := 1;
FI
DEST := temp;

Flags Affected

ZF and SF are updated based on the result. CF is set if the source is not zero. OF flags are cleared. AF and PF flags are undefined.

Intel C/C++ Compiler Intrinsic Equivalent

SIMD Floating-Point Exceptions

None.
