ADX is an x86 instruction set extension that introduced arbitrary-precision arithmetic operations.
Overview
ADX introduced two new instructions:
- ADCX
- ADOX
They are similar to the ADC instruction by doing a add with overflow, but
- ADCX uses the Carry flag as source and destination of overflow and leaves the other flags untouched
- ADOX uses the Overflow flag as source and destination of overflow and leaves the other flags untouched
This allows two parallel addition of multi-precision numbers because both have their separate carry flag.
Note:
- To add a constant to an register without effecting flags, you can use the
LEA reg, [reg + n]instruction
xor rax, rax
