BLSMSK



Sets the destination operand to the mask of the lowest set bit (LSB) of the source operand. If the source operand is zero, the destination operand is set to zero.

The following table covers what the source and destinations can be:

source destination(s)
reg reg
#I mem

DO NOT support LOCK

This instruction is only available when the processor is operating in 64-bit mode. It is not supported in compatibility mode.

To avoid incorrect results, ensure the destination register is cleared or overwritten, as the instruction specifically modifies the register based on the bit position of the lowest set bit of the source; failure to account for the zero-case (where the source is 0) may lead to logic errors in bitmasking operations.
