Chapter 10. BIT MANIPULATION
Manipulating bits in memory is, perhaps, the feature for which assembly language is most famous. Indeed, one of the reasons people claim that the C programming language is a medium-level language rather than a high-level language is because of the vast array of bit-manipulation operators that C provides. Even with this wide array of bit-manipulation operations, the C programming language doesn't provide as complete a set of bit-manipulation operations as assembly language.
This chapter discusses how to manipulate strings of bits in memory and registers using 80x86 assembly language. It begins with a review of the bit-manipulation ...
