
Interrupt to task-gate is not implemented. An attempt to execute an interrupt to
task-gate results in a „FeatureNotImplemented‟ exception and the simulation will
be stopped.

When delivering an exception in an attempt to deliver a hardware interrupt the
simulation will not push the resume-flag (RF) onto the stack.

Always clears VM, NT, TF, and RF bits in rFLAGS.
A.6.3.2 IRET – Return from Interrupt
Opcode Instruction Description
CF
IRET, IRETD,
IRETQ
Return from interrupt
The simulator does not support nested task-switching using the rFLAGS nested-task bit
(NT) and the TSS back-link field. An interrupt return (IRET) to the previous task (nested-
task) will result in a „FeatureNotImplemented‟ exception and the simulation will be
stopped.

A.6.5 64-Bit Media Instruction Reference
These instructions described in this section operate on data located in the 64-bit MMX
registers. Most of the instructions operate in parallel on sets of packed elements called
vectors, although some operate on scalars. The instructions define both integer and
floating-point operations, and include the legacy MMX instructions and the AMD
extensions to the MMX instruction set.
