| <p>Register operands are always prefixed with ‘<samp>%</samp>’. The 80386 registers |
| consist of |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> the 8 32-bit registers ‘<samp>%eax</samp>’ (the accumulator), ‘<samp>%ebx</samp>’, |
| ‘<samp>%ecx</samp>’, ‘<samp>%edx</samp>’, ‘<samp>%edi</samp>’, ‘<samp>%esi</samp>’, ‘<samp>%ebp</samp>’ (the |
| frame pointer), and ‘<samp>%esp</samp>’ (the stack pointer). |
| |
| </li><li> the 8 16-bit low-ends of these: ‘<samp>%ax</samp>’, ‘<samp>%bx</samp>’, ‘<samp>%cx</samp>’, |
| ‘<samp>%dx</samp>’, ‘<samp>%di</samp>’, ‘<samp>%si</samp>’, ‘<samp>%bp</samp>’, and ‘<samp>%sp</samp>’. |
| |
| </li><li> the 8 8-bit registers: ‘<samp>%ah</samp>’, ‘<samp>%al</samp>’, ‘<samp>%bh</samp>’, |
| ‘<samp>%bl</samp>’, ‘<samp>%ch</samp>’, ‘<samp>%cl</samp>’, ‘<samp>%dh</samp>’, and ‘<samp>%dl</samp>’ (These |
| are the high-bytes and low-bytes of ‘<samp>%ax</samp>’, ‘<samp>%bx</samp>’, |
| ‘<samp>%cx</samp>’, and ‘<samp>%dx</samp>’) |
| |
| </li><li> the 6 section registers ‘<samp>%cs</samp>’ (code section), ‘<samp>%ds</samp>’ |
| (data section), ‘<samp>%ss</samp>’ (stack section), ‘<samp>%es</samp>’, ‘<samp>%fs</samp>’, |
| and ‘<samp>%gs</samp>’. |
| |
| </li><li> the 3 processor control registers ‘<samp>%cr0</samp>’, ‘<samp>%cr2</samp>’, and |
| ‘<samp>%cr3</samp>’. |
| |
| </li><li> the 6 debug registers ‘<samp>%db0</samp>’, ‘<samp>%db1</samp>’, ‘<samp>%db2</samp>’, |
| ‘<samp>%db3</samp>’, ‘<samp>%db6</samp>’, and ‘<samp>%db7</samp>’. |
| |
| </li><li> the 2 test registers ‘<samp>%tr6</samp>’ and ‘<samp>%tr7</samp>’. |
| |
| </li><li> the 8 floating point register stack ‘<samp>%st</samp>’ or equivalently |
| ‘<samp>%st(0)</samp>’, ‘<samp>%st(1)</samp>’, ‘<samp>%st(2)</samp>’, ‘<samp>%st(3)</samp>’, |
| ‘<samp>%st(4)</samp>’, ‘<samp>%st(5)</samp>’, ‘<samp>%st(6)</samp>’, and ‘<samp>%st(7)</samp>’. |
| These registers are overloaded by 8 MMX registers ‘<samp>%mm0</samp>’, |
| ‘<samp>%mm1</samp>’, ‘<samp>%mm2</samp>’, ‘<samp>%mm3</samp>’, ‘<samp>%mm4</samp>’, ‘<samp>%mm5</samp>’, |
| ‘<samp>%mm6</samp>’ and ‘<samp>%mm7</samp>’. |
| |
| </li><li> the 8 SSE registers registers ‘<samp>%xmm0</samp>’, ‘<samp>%xmm1</samp>’, ‘<samp>%xmm2</samp>’, |
| ‘<samp>%xmm3</samp>’, ‘<samp>%xmm4</samp>’, ‘<samp>%xmm5</samp>’, ‘<samp>%xmm6</samp>’ and ‘<samp>%xmm7</samp>’. |
| </li></ul> |
| |
| <p>The AMD x86-64 architecture extends the register set by: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> enhancing the 8 32-bit registers to 64-bit: ‘<samp>%rax</samp>’ (the |
| accumulator), ‘<samp>%rbx</samp>’, ‘<samp>%rcx</samp>’, ‘<samp>%rdx</samp>’, ‘<samp>%rdi</samp>’, |
| ‘<samp>%rsi</samp>’, ‘<samp>%rbp</samp>’ (the frame pointer), ‘<samp>%rsp</samp>’ (the stack |
| pointer) |
| |
| </li><li> the 8 extended registers ‘<samp>%r8</samp>’–‘<samp>%r15</samp>’. |
| |
| </li><li> the 8 32-bit low ends of the extended registers: ‘<samp>%r8d</samp>’–‘<samp>%r15d</samp>’ |
| |
| </li><li> the 8 16-bit low ends of the extended registers: ‘<samp>%r8w</samp>’–‘<samp>%r15w</samp>’ |
| |
| </li><li> the 8 8-bit low ends of the extended registers: ‘<samp>%r8b</samp>’–‘<samp>%r15b</samp>’ |
| |
| </li><li> the 4 8-bit registers: ‘<samp>%sil</samp>’, ‘<samp>%dil</samp>’, ‘<samp>%bpl</samp>’, ‘<samp>%spl</samp>’. |
| |
| </li><li> the 8 debug registers: ‘<samp>%db8</samp>’–‘<samp>%db15</samp>’. |
| |
| </li><li> the 8 SSE registers: ‘<samp>%xmm8</samp>’–‘<samp>%xmm15</samp>’. |
| </li></ul> |
