• Sommario/riassunto: Learning assembly language won’t make you a faster programmer. It won’t enable you to create portable, write-once, run-anywhere programs. So why learn it? The answer is that it will make you a better programmer. Author John Schwartzman takes a fresh look at low-level programming and explores how to write programs using the BIOS and glibc. This laboratory-based book aids the writing of high-level structured programs by showing what the processor can and can’t do and how it does it. You’ll take apart high-level structured C/C++ and show what the CPU is doing at every stage of the program. The book introduces programs and activities throughout the development ; process, providing sample code, makefiles, and shell scripts for each example program. With the help of Assembly Language Reimagined you’ll become a more capable and versatile computer engineer. You will: Explore a new perspective on the Intel x64 microprocessor for low-level programming Understand what a processor is doing while a high-level structured computer language program is being run Solve problems with the help of software. See why assembly language programming is essential for every serious student of computer science.
