-operand, which is the number of bytes, words, doublewords or whatever

fact, it will also split \c{[eax*2+offset]} into
\c{[eax+eax+offset]}. You can combat this behaviour by the use of
the \c{NOSPLIT} keyword: \c{[nosplit eax*2]} will force
-\c{[eax*2+0]} to be generated literally.
+\c{[eax*2+0]} to be generated literally. \c{[nosplit eax*1]} also has the
+same effect. In another way, a split EA form \c{[0, eax*2]} can be used, too.
+However, \c{NOSPLIT} in \c{[nosplit eax+eax]} will be ignored because user's
+intention here is considered as \c{[eax+eax]}.
In 64-bit mode, NASM will by default generate absolute addresses. The
\i\c{REL} keyword makes it produce \c{RIP}-relative addresses. Since
this is frequently the normally desired behaviour, see the \c{DEFAULT}
directive (\k{default}). The keyword \i\c{ABS} overrides \i\c{REL}.
+A new form of split effective addres syntax is also supported. This is
+mainly intended for mib operands as used by MPX instructions, but can
+be used for any memory reference. The basic concept of this form is
+splitting base and index.
+
+\c mov eax,[ebx+8,ecx*4] ; ebx=base, ecx=index, 4=scale, 8=disp
+
+For mib operands, there are several ways of writing effective address depending
+on the tools. NASM supports all currently possible ways of mib syntax:
+
+\c ; bndstx
+\c ; next 5 lines are parsed same
+\c ; base=rax, index=rbx, scale=1, displacement=3
+\c bndstx [rax+0x3,rbx], bnd0 ; NASM - split EA
+\c bndstx [rbx*1+rax+0x3], bnd0 ; GAS - '*1' indecates an index reg
+\c bndstx [rax+rbx+3], bnd0 ; GAS - without hints
+\c bndstx [rax+0x3], bnd0, rbx ; ICC-1
+\c bndstx [rax+0x3], rbx, bnd0 ; ICC-2
+
+When broadcasting decorator is used, the opsize keyword should match
+the size of each element.
+

+\c VDIVPS zmm4, zmm5, zword [rbx] ; packed 512 bit memory
