Long mode supports CM16 (compatibility mode).              "When long mode is active and CS.L is cleared to 0, the processor is in       compatibility mode, as shown in Table 14-4 on page 436. In compatibility mode,       CS.D controls default operand and address sizes exactly as it does in the       legacy x86 architecture.        Setting CS.D to 1 specifies default operand and address sizes as 32 bits.       Clearing CS.D to 0 specifies default operand and address sizes as 16 bits."              http://developer.amd.com/wordpress/media/2012/10/24593_APM_v2.pdf              Joe              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
