Description

Stores the contents of the MXCSR control and status register to the destination operand. The destination operand is a 32-bit memory location. The reserved bits in the MXCSR register are stored as 0s.

This instruction’s operation is the same in non-64-bit modes and 64-bit mode.

VEX.L must be 0, otherwise instructions will #UD.

Note: In VEX-encoded versions, VEX.vvvv is reserved and must be 1111b, otherwise instructions will #UD.

Operation

m32 := MXCSR;

Intel C/C++ Compiler Intrinsic Equivalent

_mm_getcsr(void)

SIMD Floating-Point Exceptions

None.

Other Exceptions

See Table 2-22, “Type 5 Class Exception Conditions,” additionally:

#UD

If VEX.L= 1,

If VEX.vvvv ≠ 1111B.
