Description
E8 cw CALL rel16 N.S. Valid Call near, relative, displacement relative
to next instruction.
E8 cd CALL rel32 Valid Valid Call near, relative, displacement relative
to next instruction. 32-bit
displacement sign extended to 64-bits
in 64-bit mode.
FF /2 CALL r/m16 N.E. Valid Call near, absolute indirect, address
given in r/m16.
FF /2 CALL r/m32 N.E. Valid Call near, absolute indirect, address
given in r/m32.
FF /2 CALL r/m64 Valid N.E. Call near, absolute indirect, address
given in r/m64.
9A cd CALL
ptr16:16
Invalid Valid Call far, absolute, address given in
operand.
9A cp CALL
ptr16:32
Invalid Valid Call far, absolute, address given in
operand.
FF /3 CALL m16:16 Valid Valid Call far, absolute indirect address given
in m16:16.
In 32-bit mode: if selector points to a
gate, then RIP = 32-bit zero extended
displacement taken from gate; else RIP
= zero extended 16-bit offset from far
pointer referenced in the instruction.
FF /3 CALL m16:32 Valid Valid In 64-bit mode: If selector points to a
gate, then RIP = 64-bit displacement
taken from gate; else RIP = zero
extended 32-bit offset from far
pointer referenced in the instruction.
REX.W + FF /3 CALL m16:64 Valid N.E. In 64-bit mode: If selector points to a
gate, then RIP = 64-bit displacement
taken from gate; else RIP = 64-bit
offset from far pointer referenced in
the instruction.
