List of CIL instructions

This is a list of the instructions in the instruction set of the Common Intermediate Language bytecode.

  • Opcode abbreviated from operation code is the portion of a machine language instruction that specifies the operation to be performed.
  • Base instructions form a Turing-complete instruction set.
  • Object model instructions provide an implementation for the Common Type System.
