问题 I want to understand the importance of Q flag in ARM Processor. I know there are certain instructions like QADD,QSUB etc. But I need to understand this with some examples which will clarify the concept. Please explain me. Thank you 回答1: This is explained in the "ARM Architecture Reference Manual" (ARM DDI 0100E): Bit[27] of the CPSR is a sticky overflow flag, also known as the Q flag. This flag is set to 1 if any of the following occurs: Saturation of the addition result in a QADD or QDADD

LDR and EQU in ARM Assembly

问题 This my assembly code. a EQU 0x20000000 b EQU 0x20000004 c EQU 0x20000008 LDR R4, =a LDR R0, [R4] LDR R4, =b LDR R1, [R4] LDR R4, =c I had two questions. what after LDR R0, [R4] what goes inside R[4] ? 0x20000000 or contents of the memory at 0x20000000 ? And second, after the last line, what goes inside R4 ? c or contents of memory at 0x20000008 ? I've searched the internet about EQU and LDR, my own guess is that to all to questions, it goes the contents of the memory, but I'm confused

x86-64 instruction set, AT&T syntax, confusion regarding lea and brackets

旧街凉风 提交于 2020-12-27 06:35:44
问题 I’ve been told that lea %rax, %rdx is invalid syntax as the source needs to be in brackets, i.e lea (%rax), %rdx I think I’ve clearly misunderstood both lea and the purpose of brackets. I thought that lea %rax, %rdx would move the memory address stored in %rax, to %rdx, but apparently this is what lea (%rax), %rdx does? What confuses me is that I thought brackets signify going to an address in memory, and taking the value at that address. So by using brackets lea would be moving a value from

Are instruction set and assembly language the same thing?

问题 I was wondering if instruction set and assembly language are the same thing? If not, how do they differ and what are their relations? Thanks and regards! 回答1: I think everyone is giving you the same answer. Instruction set is is the set (as in math) of all instructions the processor can execute or understand. Assembly language is a programming language. Let me try some examples based on some of the questions you are asking. And I am going to be jumping around from processor to processor with
