The Art of 64-Bit Assembly, Volume 2 (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Building on Volume 1, this book guides experienced programmers through advanced assembly techniques often overlooked in introductory texts.

Every high-level language feature you depend on—objects, exceptions, closures, coroutines—compiles down to assembly instructions someone designed deliberately. Most programmers never see those decisions. The Art of 64-Bit Assembly, Volume 2 makes them visible.

Randall Hyde, whose work on assembly language has shaped how a generation of systems programmers thinks about x86, picks up exactly where Volume 1 ended. No review. No concessions. Every chapter takes a construct you've used in C++, Python, or Rust and shows you the assembly underneath it—built from scratch, in MASM, running under Windows.

What you'll build:

• Object-oriented programs in MASM—vtables, method dispatch, inheritance—directly from assembly
• Windows structured exception handling (SEH) installed and managed at the instruction level
• Thunks, closures, and iterators that behave like higher-order functions—in a language with none
• Coroutines, generators, and fibers without having to resort to HLL code
• Concurrent programs with real synchronization, directly from assembly language
• Unicode string handling done correctly, at the level where most code gets it wrong
• Domain-specific macro languages inside MASM, built from first principles
