Introduction to Assembly Programming with ARM - Addressing Modes

This video discusses the different types of addressing modes for reading data from registers and stack memory. This includes register direct, immediate addressing, direct addressing register indirect, and offset/increment based register indirect methods

This has to be the best tutorial on assembly I've ever seen. Thank you so much for taking your time to explain how it works.

[@jaehyi2009]

Very nice tutorial! Thanks, and please keep more coming!

[@olivestemlearning]

Thanks so much! More videos are on the way!

does learning Assembly make u understand programing logic better than c++ ?

[@olivestemlearning]

Learning assembly will definitely give you a strong foundation in how programming logic works, as you will get to see the interactions between logic and hardware. For example, the memory addressing discussed in this video directly parallels the idea of pointers in C++. By understanding memory addressing and management in assembly, it will be more natural to use pointers in C++ and related languages. I've generally found that assembly will make higher-level language logic more intuitive overall

Sorry I'm a bit confused by how we have 10 in R0. We haven't performed any arithmetic operations and 10 wasn't a value within the list. I'm probably just missing some small, obvious detail. Keep up the awesome work!

[@bwuepper439]

I think the reference to list was =list which grabbed the address of list.

The .data section isn't really the stack... it's a bunch of constants in general RAM memory.... for it to be on the stack you have to start mucking around with the stack pointer SP and the frame pointer R11.

[@olivestemlearning]

Is there a reason to use SP or the frame pointer? My understanding is that the frame pointer is used to store the function base. We use LDR to load the data onto the stack, which will place the address in the referenced register, so you shouldn't need to touch SP or FP as far as I know

Is there a good book you recommend to learn ARM64 Assembly?

[@olivestemlearning]

The main book I usually suggest for ARM64 is Programming with 64-Bit ARM (www.amazon.com/Programming-64-Bit-ARM-Assembly-Language/dp/1484258800). This book covers a large set of concepts, and even discusses interfacing with a lot of high level languages which is quite useful
