Nice blog!
Would it fair to say that the following can be considered an encoding of an instruction?
ADD rax, rax
Since if we do then we can actually say x86 has 2 forms of encoding. It's assembly form and it's binary form which is abit interesting.
- saagarjha 6y agoThat’s generally considered to be “disassembled”.
- d_tr 6y agoYou could say this because it is true, but the term "encoding" is mostly used to refer to the binary representation. The textual, human-friendly representation of an instruction is often referred to as an "instruction mnemonic".
