### Instruction Operand Encoding


|Op/En|Operand 1|Operand 2|Operand 3|Operand 4|
|-----|---------|---------|---------|---------|
|M|ModRM:r/m (r, w)|NA|NA|NA|
### Description


Replaces the value of operand (the destination operand) with its two's complement. (This operation is equivalent to subtracting the operand from 0.) The destination operand is located in a general-purpose 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

```info-verb
IF DEST = 0 
    THEN CF <- 0;
    ELSE CF <- 1; 
FI;
DEST <- [- (DEST)]
```
### Flags Affected


The CF flag set to 0 if the source operand is 0; otherwise it is set to 1. The OF, SF, ZF, AF, and PF flags are set according to the result. 


### Protected Mode Exceptions

#### #GP(0)
* If the destination is located in 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)
* For a page fault.

#### #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.
