@cindex @samp{--64} option, x86-64
-@item --32 | --64
-Select the word size, either 32 bits or 64 bits. Selecting 32-bit
-implies Intel i386 architecture, while 64-bit implies AMD x86-64
-architecture.
+@item --32 | --x32 | --64
+Select the word size, either 32 bits or 64 bits. @samp{--32}
+implies Intel i386 architecture, while @samp{--x32} and @samp{--64}
+imply AMD x86-64 architecture with 32-bit or 64-bit word-size

-@item -msse-check=@var{error}
+@itemx -msse-check=@var{warning}

These options control if the assembler should check SSE intructions.
@option{-msse-check=@var{none}} will make the assembler not to check SSE
instructions, which is the default. @option{-msse-check=@var{warning}}
@option{-msse-check=@var{error}} will make the assembler issue an error
for any SSE intruction.

+@cindex @samp{-mavxscalar=} option, x86-64
+@item -mavxscalar=@var{128}
+@itemx -mavxscalar=@var{256}
+This options control how the assembler should encode scalar AVX
+instructions. @option{-mavxscalar=@var{128}} will encode scalar
+AVX instructions with 128bit vector length, which is the default.
+@option{-mavxscalar=@var{256}} will encode scalar AVX instructions
+with 256bit vector length.

@cindex @samp{-mmnemonic=} option, x86-64
@item -mmnemonic=@var{att}

This option specifies instruction mnemonic for matching instructions.

take precedent.

@cindex @samp{-msyntax=} option, x86-64
@item -msyntax=@var{att}

This option specifies instruction syntax when processing instructions.
The @code{.att_syntax} and @code{.intel_syntax} directives will
take precedent.
The @code{.att_syntax} and @code{.intel_syntax} directives will take precedent.

+
+@cindex line comment character, i386
+@cindex i386 line comment character
+The presence of a @samp{#} appearing anywhere on a line indicates the
+start of a comment that extends to the end of that line.
+
+If a @samp{#} appears as the first character of a line then the whole
+line is treated as a comment, but in this case the line can also be a
+logical line number directive (@pxref{Comments}) or a preprocessor
+control command (@pxref{Preprocessing}).
+
+If the @option{--divide} command line option has not been specified
+then the @samp{/} character appearing anywhere on a line also
+introduces a line comment.
+
+@cindex line separator, i386
+@cindex statement separator, i386
+@cindex i386 line separator
+The @samp{;} character can be used to separate statements on the same
+line.

@node i386-Mnemonics
@section Instruction Naming
Different encoding options can be specified via optional mnemonic
suffix. @samp{.s} suffix swaps 2 register operands in encoding when
-moving from one register to another.
+moving from one register to another. @samp{.d32} suffix forces 32bit
+displacement in encoding.

+@cindex BMI, x86-64
+
+@code{@value{AS}} supports the Bit Manipulation (BMI) instruction set.

+instruction set, available on AMD's BDVER2 processors (Trinity and

+
+TBM instructions provide instructions implementing individual bit
+manipulation operations such as isolating, masking, setting, resetting,
