BSF instruction - Bit Scan Forward
| Code |
Mnemonic |
Description |
| 0F BC |
BSF r16, r/m16 |
Bit scan forward on r/m16 |
| 0F BC |
BSF r32, r/m32 |
Bit scan forward on r/m32 |
Description
Searches the source operand (second operand) for the least significant set bit (1 bit). If a least significant 1 bit is found, its bit index is stored in the destination operand (first operand). The source operand can be a register or a memory location; the destination operand is a register. The bit index is an unsigned offset from bit 0 of the source operand. If the contents source operand are 0, the contents of the destination operand is undefined.
