LEA - Load Effective Address
8D / r LEA r16,m Store effective address for m in register r16
8D / r LEA r32,m Store effective address for m in register r32
Description
Computes the effective address of the second operand (the source operand) and stores it in the first operand (destination operand). The source operand is a memory address (offset part) specified with one of the processors addressing modes; the destination operand is a general-purpose register. The address-size and operand-size attributes affect the action performed by this instruction, as shown in the following table. The operand-size attribute of the instruction is determined by the chosen register; the address-size attribute is determined by the attribute of the codesegment.
Operand Size Address Size Action Performed
16 16 16-bit effective address is calculated and stored in requested
16-bit register destination.
16 32 32-bit effective address is calculated. The lower 16 bits of the
address are stored in the requested 16-bit register destination.
32 16 16-bit effective address is calculated. The 16-bit address is zero-extended
and stored in the requested 32-bit register destination.
32 32 32-bit effective address is calculated and stored in the requested
32-bit register destination.
Different assemblers may use different algorithms based on the size attribute and symbolic reference of the source operand.
