BOUND -- Check Array Index Against Bounds
OperationIF (LeftSRC < [RightSRC] OR LeftSRC > [RightSRC + OperandSize/8]) (* Under lower bound or over upper bound *) THEN Interrupt 5; FI; DescriptionBOUND ensures that a signed array index is within the limits specified by a block of memory consisting of an upper and a lower bound. Each bound uses one word for an operand-size attribute of 16 bits and a doubleword for an operand-size attribute of 32 bits. The first operand (a register) must be greater than or equal to the first bound in memory (lower bound), and less than or equal to the second bound in memory (upper bound). If the register is not within bounds, an Interrupt 5 occurs; the return EIP points to the BOUND instruction.The bounds limit data structure is usually placed just before the array itself, making the limits addressable via a constant offset from the beginning of the array. Flags AffectedNoneProtected Mode ExceptionsInterrupt 5 if the bounds test fails, as described above; #GP(0) for an illegal memory operand effective address in the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segments; #SS(0) for an illegal address in the SS segment; #PF(fault-code) for a page faultThe second operand must be a memory operand, not a register. If BOUND is executed with a ModRM byte representing a register as the second operand, #UD occurs. Real Address Mode ExceptionsInterrupt 5 if the bounds test fails; Interrupt 13 if any part of the operand would lie outside of the effective address space from 0 to 0FFFFH; Interrupt 6 if the second operand is a registerVirtual 8086 Mode ExceptionsSame exceptions as in Real Address Mode; #PF(fault-code) for a page fault
