Assembly Flashcards
1
Q

A
moves value from one to another
2
Q
Destination can/cannot be a constant?
A
Cannot!
3
Q
lea rax, [var]
A
moves the address of var into rax
4
Q
Activation record
A
All things pushed onto the stack when a subroutine is calaled such as current registers, current parameters, current local variables, return address
5
Q
Big endian vs little endian advantaage?
A
Little endian… the entire 32-bit word and the 8-bit least significant bite have the same address (on assembly slides, laast column, far down)…this principle allower for simpler casting routines among integers AND moving techniques
