+EVEX vector register clearing instructions. In 64-bit mode VEX encoded
+instructions with commutative source operands will also have their

+instead of the 3-byte one. Certain forms of AND as well as OR with the

+
+@samp{-Os} includes @samp{-O2} optimization plus encodes 16-bit, 32-bit

In AT&T syntax the size of memory operands is determined from the last
character of the instruction mnemonic. Mnemonic suffixes of @samp{b},

-(32-bit) and quadruple word (64-bit) memory references. Intel syntax accomplishes
-this by prefixing memory operands (@emph{not} the instruction mnemonics) with
-@samp{byte ptr}, @samp{word ptr}, @samp{dword ptr} and @samp{qword ptr}. Thus,
