There is no such an instruction of "movl %ds,(%eax)". The old assembler accepts it and turns it into "movw %ds,(%eax)".
I disagree. Violently. As does the old assembler, which does not turn "mov" into "movw" as you say. AT ALL.
I should have made myself clear. By "movw %ds,(%eax)", I meant:
8c 18 movw %ds,(%eax)
That is what the assembler generates, and should have generated, for "movw %ds,(%eax)" since Nov. 4, 2004.
