(MOV-I) ( dst src -- )


Vocabulary
cpu.x86.assembler.private

Inputs
dstdestination
srcimmediate value


Outputs
None

Word description
MOV where 'src' is immediate. If dst is a 64-bit register and the 'src' value fits in 32 bits, then zero extension is taken advantage of by downgrading 'dst' to a 32-bit register. That way, the instruction gets a shorter encoding.
