Re: Assembly mnemonic

[Rudolf Marek <MAREKR2@cs.felk.cvut.cz>]

Hello,

google.com found this:

   The Intel-syntax conversion instructions
      * cbw -- sign-extend byte in %al to word in %ax,
      * cwde -- sign-extend word in %ax to long in %eax,
      * cwd -- sign-extend word in %ax to long in %dx:%ax,
      * cdq -- sign-extend dword in %eax to quad in %edx:%eax,
      * cdqe -- sign-extend dword in %eax to quad in %rax (x86-64 only),
      * cdo -- sign-extend quad in %rax to octuple in %rdx:%rax (x86-64 only)

are called cbtw, cwtl, cwtd, cltd, cltq, and cqto in AT&T naming. as  as 
                             ^^^^^
accepts either naming for these instructions.
