Assembly

• Introduction to X86-64 Assembly for Compiler Writers
  • I highly recommend this guide. Fairly comprehensive, concrete, and not too difficult.
• x86 Assembly Guide
  • Good intro, but note that this covers the x86 (32-bit) ABI, not x86-64. Specifically, the registers have been expanded, and the calling convention has changed!
• Easy x86-64
  • Easy tutorial, not very in-depth
• x86-64 Handout
• x86-64 Calling Convention
• Stack frame layout on x86-64
