Kay, once again a beautiful and interesting video! Just for future reference, "SIMD" is typically verbalized as the two-syllable "SIM-DEE" :)

Just for future reference no one wants an unsolicited teacher. If you just can’t help yourself go start your own youtube channel so you can say “well actually” to your own audience.

@@coding3438The problem is they're not just trolls. They're trying to be some kind of white knight, for literally all the wrong reasons. Their comments interrupt otherwise civil discussion. It would be great if there were a way to hide comments that don't otherwise contribute to the discussion around the video. Y'know, like the one I'm writing now.

Pushing registers that you are going to use internally to stack at the beginning of function is necessary if you are going to use the function as a library. Pushing registers and then popping them back makes sure registers are at the left untouched when you return from your function, thus not corrupting the flow of the original program.

@ioscaleb 11 сағат бұрын

That’s true, but in a previous video Kay explained that the ARM convention is that a function only has to preserve certain registers, i.e. X19-X28. The others are temporary registers; it’s up to the caller to save any that are needed before making a function call. I’m not sure which part of the video you’re referring to, but maybe this will help. Consider also that the “functions” here are really just subroutines meant for use only in this program, not library functions.

9:29 That line count is correct because in posix, a line is a character string that ends in a newline character. That is just one line then some extra characters on the end.

As Niklaus Wirth stated, programs are literature for humans, and not machines. However, Assembly is a departure from that ideal...

@anta40 2 ай бұрын

A few decades ago it was the the norm to write any application in assembly due to hardware & compiler limitation, fortunately we are past that point. That said, there some cases where assembly understanding is still necessary, e.g reverse engineering.

Thanks! For the diagrams this time I gave tldraw.com a try - with a fair bit of editing laid over the top. Tldraw is really nice. The rest is VS Code + OBS with a lot of me fiddling around putting emojis in using Premiere Pro :)

Slightly odd question if you mind me asking - but what’s that nice handwritten-looking font on the diagrams?

I believe it's Shantell Sans (shantellsans.com) - the friendly default font on tldraw

Kay, is there a resource that would help me understand the relationships of how and why assembly is useful to comprehend?

@neoeno4242 2 ай бұрын

Interesting question! If you've not watched my "Introducing 0DE5" and "Just enough assembly to blow your mind" videos yet I think I touch on it a bit there. I'm not aware of any good resources talking about why it's useful to learn but I'll give a brief on why I'm covering it / why it's useful to me. So I'm covering it due to the spirit of my project - odes in appreciation of computing. Basically I think it's interesting and that other people might find it interesting! Not everyone will I imagine but to me learning the language that ~all of the programs on my computer boil down to is pretty fascinating. As to why I think it's useful - I started learning assembly as a teenager and it has been very helpful in helping me build a coherent, generally correct mental model of how all computer programs work - because ~all computer programs boil down to how to just this language works. So a bit like (I imagine) if you learn physics you won't necessarily understand both civil engineering and spaceflight right away, but you'll know you have the raw tools in your brain necessary to understand those things - your intuition will generally be good. I think assembly has, for me, been a bit like 'physics' for the computer. I don't necessarily understand how the Rust borrow checker works or Scheme continuations but I do know that they all come down to one language in the end and knowing roughly how that language works helps me guess at how those ideas might work a lot faster. This answer is also reminding me of a little essay called The Gears of My Childhood which is a bit of a tangent but similar idea: www.herostrat.us/posts/the-gears-of-my-childhood/ Anyway, thanks for the question! Made me think. Hope the answer wasn't too long :)

If you get bored try to find “Zen of Graphics Programming by Michael Abrash” creating sprites,shapes and graphics in msdos with assembly and VGA hardware is pure magic. Does it translate into todays hardware or coding regiments, no probably not but the windows API takes the fun out of programming. And it is a PITA

@channelgogrvk 2 ай бұрын

if you look at generated assembly from GCC and CLang a lot of generated labels start with .L. when a label is prefixed with .L it signals to the assembler that it should not emit a symbol for the label, and it remains hidden--it cannot be used as an external reference in any other TU. it's very handy when you don't want to clutter the symbol space with symbols that nothing else will need to know about!
