"My flat-out favorite book of 2003 was Randall Hyde's The Art of Assembly Language ."
"You would be hard-pressed to find a better book on assembly out there."
"This is a large book that is comprehensive and detailed. The author and publishers have done a remarkable job of packing so much in without making the explanatory text too terse. If you want to use assembly language, or add it to your list of programming skills, this is the book to have."
"Allows the reader to focus on what's really important, writing programs without hitting the proverbial brick wall that dooms many who attempt to learn assembly language to failure.... Topics are discussed in detail and no stone is left unturned."
"The text is well authored and easy to understand. The tutorials are thoroughly explained, and the example code segments are superbly commented."
"This big book is a very complete treatment [of assembly language]."
This book has literally taken over a decade to create. It started out as "How to Program the IBM PC, Using 8088 Assembly Language" way back in 1989. I originally wrote this book for the students in my assembly language course at Cal Poly Pomona and UC Riverside. Over the years, hundreds of students have made small and large contributions (it's amazing how a little extra credit can motivate some students). I've also received thousands of comments via the Internet after placing an early, 16-bit edition of this book on my website at UC Riverside. I owe everyone who has contributed to this effort my gratitude.
I would also like to specifically thank Mary Phillips, who spent several months helping me proofread much of the 16-bit edition upon which I've based this book. Mary is a wonderful person and a great friend.
I also owe a deep debt of gratitude to William Pollock at No Starch Press, who rescued this book from obscurity. He is the one responsible for convincing me to spend some time beating on this book to create a publishable entity from it. I would also like to thank Karol Jurado for shepherding this project from its inceptionit's been a long, hard road. Thanks, Karol.
I would like to thank the many thousands of readers who've made the first edition of The Art of Assembly Language so successful. Your comments, suggestions, and corrections have been a big help in the creation of this second edition. Thank you for purchasing this book and keeping assembly language alive and well.
When I first began work on this second edition, my original plan was to make the necessary changes and get the book out as quickly as possible. However, the kind folks at No Starch Press have spent countless hours improving the readability, consistency, and accuracy of this book. The second edition you hold in your hands is a huge improvement over the first edition and a large part of the credit belongs to No Starch. In particular, the following No Starch personnel are responsible for improving this book: Bill Pollock, Alison Peterson, Ansel Staton, Riley Hoffman, Megan Dunchak, Linda Recktenwald, Susan Glinert Stevens, and Nancy Bell. Special thanks goes out to Nathan Baker who was the technical reader for this book; you did a great job, Nate.
I'd also like to thank Sevag Krikorian, who developed the HIDE integrated development environment for HLA and has tirelessly promoted the HLA language, as well as all the contributors to the Yahoo AoAProgramming group; you've all provided great support for this book.
As I didn't mention her in the acknowledgments to the first edition, let me dedicate this book to my wife Mandy. It's been a great 30 years and I'm looking forward to another 30. Thanks for giving me the time to work on this project.
This chapter is a "quick-start" chapter that lets you start writing basic assembly language programs as rapidly as possible. This chapter does the following:
Presents the basic syntax of an HLA (High Level Assembly) program
Introduces you to the Intel CPU architecture
Provides a handful of data declarations, machine instructions, and high-level control statements
Describes some utility routines you can call in the HLA Standard Library
Shows you how to write some simple assembly language programs
By the conclusion of this chapter, you should understand the basic syntax of an HLA program and should understand the prerequisites that are needed to start learning new assembly language features in the chapters that follow.
A typical HLA program takes the form shown in .
Figure 1-1. Basic HLA program
pgmID in the template above is a user-defined program identifier. You must pick an appropriate descriptive name for your program. In particular, pgmID would be a horrible choice for any real program. If you are writing programs as part of a course assignment, your instructor will probably give you the name to use for your main program. If you are writing your own HLA program, you will have to choose an appropriate name for your project.
Identifiers in HLA are very similar to identifiers in most high-level languages. HLA identifiers may begin with an underscore or an alphabetic character and may be followed by zero or more alphanumeric or underscore characters. HLA's identifiers are case neutral . This means that the identifiers are case sensitive insofar as you must always spell an identifier exactly the same way in your program (even with respect to upper- and lowercase). However, unlike in case-sensitive languages such as C/C++, you may not declare two identifiers in the program whose name differs only by alphabetic case.
