X86 MOV is quite a beast.
- anyfoo 3y agoI'm not entirely through with the video yet, but the core of the idea doesn't need that much from the MOV instruction. No control flow happens in the traditional sense from the CPUs point of view, it's all just linear execution. Instead, there's an abstraction on top that implements control flow by making all code that is not part of the current branch ineffective (but still executed).
