Post subject: | OSDev Series: IA32 machine language |
Hello everyone, This is the initial release for the OSDev Series advanced chapter covering IA32 and IA64 machine language. It provides an introduction to machine language topics, instruction encoding, using instruction look-up tables, and some examples of translating instructions. I feel that this might be a good supplemental material to the OSDev Wikis' article as it presents the information in a different way. We are transitioning to a different writing environment for the series to present a standard formatting method and resolve spelling errors that are present in earlier chapters. Please let me know if there are any formatting oddities. OSDev Series: IA32 Machine Language Please let me know if there are any questions or comments. Thanks, ~Mike (); *edit: fixed invalid link |

Neon it's a great guide a little to basic for me personally but it does serve it's purpose. |

Beauty just what I was looking for. Now I can write my own 16bit real mode emulator! ITs probably gonna be the first stop for everybody who wants to write an assembler too! |

Hi, You've got some nicely done tutorials on there and don't always stick to the stuff that's been done loads of times before! Nice work. Cheers, Adam |

Nice work. Some things did strike me as odd though: Quote: Machine language, also known as (...) byte code Bytecode is generally a term used for non-native binary storage of program code, and is rather out of place as an equivalent term for native code.Quote: IA64 That is the formal designation for Itanium. You might want to replace that with x86-64.Quote: The LOCK prefix can only be used (...) When the destination is a memory operand and is part of a read-modify-write operation. (in practice, the source being the memory operand is allowed but is normally useless). FOOF bug being a typical example of that.Quote: rex.w Warning: "rex" used but not defined . You might want to give a brief introduction to the difference between legacy and long mode before using it that way.Quote: The prefix bytes are identified in 4 classes repeat(1) segment(2) address(3) operand(4) REX...5?

Hello everyone, I appreciate the feedback. @Combuster: Thanks for the suggestions I am not sure what the last point is addressing however. REX isn't a separate prefix class so we treat it that way. |

(Obfuscations aside, either treat REX as a separate entity throughout or as yet another prefix throughout, but do not mix both) Quote: Same here. It should end in html, not htm. Didn't know you take more than six hours for a post
