x86 assembly Language Guide. Contents: Registers | Memory and Addressing | Instructions | Calling Convention This guide describes the basics of 32-bit x86 assembly language programming, covering a small but useful subset of the available instructions and assembler directives.
There are several different assembly languages for generating x86 machine code. The one we will use in CS216 is the Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) assembler. x86 Assembly Language Tutorial. For more detailed information about the architecture and about processor instructions, you will need access to a 486 (or 386+) microprocessor manual.
The one I like is entitled The 80386 book, by Ross P. Nelson. (This book is copyright 1988 by Microsoft Press, ISBN 1-55615-138-1.) Intel processor manuals may also be found at The GNU Assembler, gas, uses a different syntax from what you will likely find in any x86 reference manual, and the two-operand instructions have the source and destinations in the opposite order. x86 Assembly. x86 Assembly This book covers assembly language programming for the x86 family of microprocessors.
The objective is to teach how to program in x86 assembly, as well as the history and basic architecture of x86 processor family. When referring to x86 we address the complete range of x86-based processors (since the original Intel 8086 in 1978). This includes:
