Assembly language question

Take the following snippet:

movl -4(%ebp), %eax

Does this move the value found at -4(%ebp) into %eax or does it move the address of -4(%ebp) into %eax?
 
In Intel syntax, the associativity is from left to right, so it's eax into ebp. In AT&T syntax, it's left to right, so in your case it's ebp into eax.

Yeah, but does it move the value found at the address -4(%ebp) or the address itself into %eax?
