This chapter consists of five programming examples in assembly
language. The first three examples show typical assembly language
code sequences; the last two examples show the correspondence between
C, a higher-level programming language, and assembly language.
Title not available (Programming Examples)
- Example 1
Calculates the highest bit position set in a passed
parameter. A binary search is used to enhance performance.
- Example 2
Copies bytes from a source location to a destination
location. Both locations and the number of bytes to copy are passed
in as parameters.
- Example 3
Uses Divide Step to divide a 64-bit signed dividend
by a 32-bit signed divisor.
- Example 4
Uses a procedure call from a C program to the Assembler
to verify that the program is passing the correct argument.
- Example 5
Shows a C program that generates assembly code to
call printf().
