A Complete Tutorial Guide To 64-bit Assembly Language Programming

Windows ® 64-bit Assembly Language Setting Quick Start is a full tutorial making use of the totally free Community Version of Microsoft ® Visual Studio 17 to introduce the beginner to the Intel ® X86-64 architecture and the Windows X64 Calling Convention.

With Microsoft ® Visual Studio 17, setting up language programs can be built making use of either its Integrated Advancement Setting (IDE) or using its ML64 assembler straight in a typical command line technique. Both strategies exist in this book, and also each has its own merits for gaining a much deeper understanding of computer software program and hardware. The aid offered by Visual Studio's interactive debugger is immense not just for establishing real programs but likewise finding out how the CPU guidelines work.
Designers find out by instance and also establish their abilities by checking out and customizing working programs. Every sample program is complete, yet leaves room for improvements as well as experimentation urged by the concerns at the end of each chapter. All are offered for download with GitHub.
The example programs, ranging from five to over one hundred lines of code, are extensively recorded in both flowcharts and also comments. Over seventy images are included to clarify shows strategies in addition to X86, SSE, and also AVX guidelines. CPU instructions are presented as needed to attain programs objectives as the tasks in each chapter development to the following.
This is not a publication that has actually been changed or moves from a 32-bit or 16-bit viewpoint, yet starts right in with 64-bit shows and also only refers to past techniques when necessary to describe seemingly abnormal conventions and also names.
Topics like binary as well as hexadecimal are introduced with shows examples as well as showing up in appendices.
The examples in this publication have been "class tested" with students having extremely bit, if any kind of, previous programs experience. The info is full, enabling it to be used as an independent research study.
Learning computer and also software application architectures through hands-on setting up language programs experience helps establish well-rounded designers and computer designers.
