My assembly tutorials

[darwen]

I'd just like to ask :

How did you find them as introductions ?

Also, since they've seemed to be so successful how would the forum feel about a series of intermediate articles going into more depth and including example sources ?

I feel I can extend the articles to cover :

(1) The flags.

I only dealt with the zero flag. I feel a fuller coverage of the flags is necessary.

(2) More advanced registers

i.e. esp and ebp

(3) Other instructions.

rep movs etc

(4) The FPU

I'm not proposing to cover MMX or SIMD instructions in any of my tutorials. At least at this present moment in time.

What are your thoughts ?

Your assembly tutorials are very nice and helpful. If I were an assembly beginner, I would like to see one more section there: working with memory. That would include stuff like:
1. description of instruction like mov (very detailed), lea, etc
2. string operations (movs, reps)
3. dealing with arrays, incl. indexing modes

Basic ideas of FPU would be also great to see, I do not know much about it, so Id learn something.

Keep up good work

I am using VC 6.0 and also had this problem. Solution is to replace all occurences of $InputfileName with $InputName. I have no idea if it is some error in tutorial or incompatibility between VC 6 and VC 2003.
