Bug ID: 27906
Summary: doc for x86 incorrectly says that movsb is an alias
for movsbq
Product: binutils
Version: 2.37 (HEAD)
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: gas
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org

Patch
The documentation (in i386 Dependent features, section “i386-Mnemonics”, file
c-i386.texi) says that movsb is an alias for movsbq. However, movsb is a
different instruction (byte-sized movs). The intended alias is rather movsxb.
A patch is attached for clarity.
