832-BIT X86 ASSEMBLY (IA32)
In this chapter, we explore the Intel Architecture 32-bit (IA32) instruction set architecture. Recall from Chapter 5 that an instruction set architecture, or ISA, defines the set of instructions and binary encodings of a machine-level program. To run the examples in this chapter, you will need access to a machine with an x86 processor or a compiler that can create 32-bit executables. The term “x86” is often used synonymously with the IA32 architecture. The x86 architecture, and its 64-bit variant x86-64, are ubiquitous in modern computers.
Very few modern machines have 32-bit processors; most Intel and AMD systems produced ...
