Registers
The registers in the CPU that is often the operands of the mnemonics. Some registers are be accessed in different sizes. That is done by adding a prefix of e for 32 bit and r for 64 bit.
General purpose registers (A-D)
Each of this can be used in larger sizes with ex EAX and RAX.It is also possible to get the lower byte of the 16 bit part with a L (AL) and the higher byte with a H (AH).
- AX : Accumulator
- BX : Base
- CX : Counter
- DX : Data
General Purpose Registers (R8-R15)
64 bits. R8 is full register, R8D is lower 32 bit, R8W is lower 16 bit and R9B is lower 8 bit.
Instruction pointer (ip)
Address of the next instruction. Not modified directly.
