Very nice, I'm always for more assembly-level programming and education!
A very minor grammar thing, here:
In our example, the mnemonic is mov, which stands for move, and the operands are rax and rbx. This instruction in plain English would read: move the content of rbx in rax.
I believe the last part would be better as "... content of rbx to rax", i.e. "to" instead of "in". I'm not a native speaker, though.
- danwills 2y agoAgreed, indeed I thought that "Copy the contents of rbx to rax" might be even clearer (mov doesn't remove the value from rbx IIUC!)
- delta_p_delta_x 2y agoI'd say 'Yoda speak' makes translating from Intel syntax to English a lot easier. mov rax rbx Into rax, copy the contents of rbx.
- genewitch 2y agoif you tell someone you're moving, a generalized first question they would ask is "where?" not "what". move Fiji belongings
