In the previous chapter, you learned about the fundamentals of the x86-64 platform including its data types, register sets, memory addressing modes, and the core instruction set. In this chapter, you learn how to code basic x86-64 assembly language functions that are callable from C++. You also learn about the semantics and syntax of an x86-64 assembly language source code file. The sample source code and accompanying remarks of this chapter are intended to complement the instructive material presented in Chapter 1.
The content of Chapter 2 is organized as ...
