Description

STUI sets the user interrupt flag (UIF). Its effect takes place immediately; a user interrupt may be delivered on the instruction boundary following STUI. (This is in contrast with STI, whose effect is delayed by one instruction).

An execution of STUI inside a transactional region causes a transactional abort; the abort loads EAX as it would have had it been due to an execution of STI.

Operation

UIF := 1;

Flags Affected

None.
