After overviewing the X86 assembly language of Solaris Today,I spent more than 3 hours to read the `x86 assembly language reference guide' very carefully...And got a lot. You know what...I found that the assembly language I learnt and used before is obviously antique and outdated...My knowledge of the x86 assembly language can be compressed into one section of that reference...yeah,its name is the GENERAL purpose...That is to say I have no idea about other sections of the instructions...I am so behind compared with the recent guide...and I will be behind too then.if I am still satisfied with the accumulate of the assembly languge...Really how time files... X86 Instructions Set Mapping - General Purpose - Floating Point - SIMD - MMX - SSE - SSE2

Comments:

Sun, a quick tidbit for you. When you're looking at the output of /usr/ccs/bin/dis or mdb's ::dis dcmd, just remember that the output does not match the Intel or AMD documentation. We use the same output style as for SPARC: operation [sources] [destination] which is also known as AT&T Style iirc. That bit me a few times :-)
