Struct Vex 

pub struct Vex {
    pub length: Length,
    pub pp: Option<VexPrefix>,
    pub mmmmm: Option<VexEscape>,
    pub w: WBit,
    pub opcode: u8,
    pub modrm: Option<ModRmKind>,
    pub imm: Imm,
    pub is4: bool,
}

The VEX encoding, introduced for AVX instructions.

// To encode a BLENDPD instruction in the manual: VEX.128.66.0F3A.WIG 0D /r ib
let enc = vex(L128)._66()._0f3a().wig().op(0x0D).r().ib();
assert_eq!(enc.to_string(), "VEX.128.66.0F3A.WIG 0x0D /r ib");

Fields

length: Length

The length of the operand (e.g., 128-bit or 256-bit).

pp: Option<VexPrefix>

Any SIMD prefixes, but encoded in the VEX.pp bit field.

mmmmm: Option<VexEscape>

Any leading map bytes, but encoded in the VEX.mmmmm bit field.

w: WBit

The W bit.

opcode: u8

VEX-encoded instructions have a single-byte opcode. Other prefix-related bytes (see Opcodes) are encoded in the VEX prefixes (see pp, mmmmmm). From the reference manual: “One (and only one) opcode byte follows the 2 or 3 byte VEX.”

modrm: Option<ModRmKind>

See Rex.modrm.

imm: Imm

See Rex.imm.

is4: bool

See Vex::is4

Implementations

impl Vex

pub fn _66(self) -> Self

Set the pp field to use VexPrefix::_66; equivalent to .66 in the manual.

pub fn _f2(self) -> Self

Set the pp field to use VexPrefix::_F2; equivalent to .F2 in the manual.

pub fn _f3(self) -> Self

Set the pp field to use VexPrefix::_F3; equivalent to .F3 in the manual.

pub fn _0f(self) -> Self

Set the mmmmmm field to use VexEscape::_0F; equivalent to .0F in the manual.

pub fn _0f3a(self) -> Self

Set the mmmmmm field to use VexEscape::_0F3A; equivalent to .0F3A in the manual.

pub fn _0f38(self) -> Self

Set the mmmmmm field to use VexEscape::_0F38; equivalent to .0F38 in the manual.

pub fn w0(self) -> Self

Set the W bit to 0; equivalent to .W0 in the manual.

pub fn w1(self) -> Self

Set the W bit to 1; equivalent to .W1 in the manual.

pub fn wig(self) -> Self

Ignore the W bit; equivalent to .WIG in the manual.

pub fn op(self, opcode: u8) -> Self

Set the single opcode for this VEX-encoded instruction.

pub fn r(self) -> Self

Set the ModR/M byte to contain a register operand; see Rex::r.

pub fn ib(self) -> Self

Append a byte-sized immediate operand (8-bit); equivalent to ib in the reference manual.

Panics

Panics if an immediate operand is already set.

pub fn iw(self) -> Self

Append a word-sized immediate operand (16-bit); equivalent to iw in the reference manual.

Panics

Panics if an immediate operand is already set.

pub fn id(self) -> Self

Append a doubleword-sized immediate operand (32-bit); equivalent to id in the reference manual.

Panics

Panics if an immediate operand is already set.

pub fn io(self) -> Self

Append a quadword-sized immediate operand (64-bit); equivalent to io in the reference manual.

Panics

Panics if an immediate operand is already set.

pub fn digit(self, extension: u8) -> Self

Set the digit extending the opcode; equivalent to /<digit> in the reference manual.

Panics

Panics if extension is too large.

pub fn is4(self) -> Self

An 8-bit immediate byte is present containing a source register specifier in either imm8[7:4] (for 64-bit mode) or imm8[6:4] (for 32-bit mode), and instruction-specific payload in imm8[3:0].

pub fn unwrap_digit(&self) -> Option<u8>

Retrieve the digit extending the opcode, if available.
