x86 Instruction Set Reference

NOT

One's Complement Negation

Opcode Mnemonic Description
F6 /2 NOT r/m8 Reverse each bit of r/m8.
F7 /2 NOT r/m16 Reverse each bit of r/m16.
F7 /2 NOT r/m32 Reverse each bit of r/m32.
Description

Performs a bitwise NOT operation (each 1 is set to 0, and each 0 is set to 1) on the destination operand and stores the result in the destination operand location. The destination operand can be a register or a memory location.

This instruction can be used with a LOCK prefix to allow the instruction to be executed atomically.

Operation
Destination = ~Destination;
Flags affected

None.

Protected Mode Exceptions
#GP(0)If the destination operand points to 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.
#GP(0)If the destination operand points to 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.
Real-Address Mode Exceptions
#GPIf a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segment limit.
#GPIf a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segment limit.
Virtual-8086 Mode Exceptions
#GP(0)If a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segment limit.
#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.
