PUSH            Push Operand on Stack                Flags: Not altered

PUSH source

        Logic   eSP . eSP - n
                [SS:eSP] . source
                ; n = 2 if operand-size attribute is 16 bits, else 4

    If the operand-size attribute of the instruction is 16 bits, PUSH
    decrements the stack pointer by 2, otherwise by 4. Then the source
    operand is copied to the new top of stack which is pointed to by
    the stack pointer (SS:SP if stack address-size attribute is 16
    bits, SS:ESP if stack address-size attribute is 32 bits).

    The operand for PUSH must be a general register, a segment
    register, a memory operand, or (80186+) an immediate value. A full
    word/doubleword is pushed onto the stack even if the operand
    refers to a byte-sized value.


                Example:        push    [mem_op]
                                pop     [mem_op_copy]

    PUSH SP
    The 8086 and 80186 processors decrement the stack pointer before
    pushing it onto the stack with a PUSH SP instruction. The 80286 and
    later processors push the value of SP/ESP before it's decremented.
