Description

Performs a bitwise NOT operation (each 1 is set to 0, and each 0 is set to 1) on the destination operand and stores the result in the destination operand location. The destination operand can be a register or a memory location.

This instruction can be used with a LOCK prefix to allow the instruction to be executed atomically.

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.

Operation 

DEST := NOT DEST;

Flags Affected

None.

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

#GP

If a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segment limit.

#SS

If 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 as for protected mode exceptions.

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.
