Forget the controversial opinion and drama, let's talk about something technical, how does the mov eax, ebx thing work? He said it will update eax to point to the same underlying register ebx points to. But then what happens when something like mov ebx, 9000h is executed? How does the CPU know that this will only apply to ebx, not eax?
- stephencanon 12y agoThe subsequent mov ebx, 9000h will cause ebx to "point to" a new underlying register, leaving the one that corresponds to eax intact.
