Modifies stack for entry to procedure for high level language. Takes two operands: the amount of storage to be allocated on the stack and the nesting level of the procedure. INSB/INSW: 6C Input from port to string. May be used with a REP prefix to repeat the instruction CX times. equivalent to:
The C programming language provides many standard library functions for file input and output.These functions make up the bulk of the C standard library header <stdio.h>. [1] The functionality descends from a "portable I/O package" written by Mike Lesk at Bell Labs in the early 1970s, [2] and officially became part of the Unix operating system in Version 7.
x86 assembly language includes instructions for a stack-based floating-point unit (FPU). The FPU was an optional separate coprocessor for the 8086 through the 80386, it was an on-chip option for the 80486 series, and it is a standard feature in every Intel x86 CPU since the 80486, starting with the Pentium.
Open Watcom Assembler or WASM is an x86 assembler produced by Watcom, based on the Watcom Assembler found in Watcom C/C++ compiler and Watcom FORTRAN 77. [1] [2] [3] Further development is being done on the 32- and 64-bit JWASM project, [4] which more closely matches the syntax of Microsoft's assembler.
Version 4.0 of OMF for the 8086 family was released in 1981 under the name Relocatable Object Module Format, [6] [3] [4] and is perhaps best known to DOS users as an .OBJ file. Versions for the 80286 ( OMF-286 ) [ 7 ] [ 8 ] and the 32-bit 80386 processors ( OMF-386 ) [ 9 ] [ 10 ] [ 3 ] were introduced in 1981 and 1985, respectively.
In version 0.90, Simon Tatham added support for an object-file output interface, and for DOS .OBJ files for 16-bit code only. [9] NASM thus lacked a 32-bit object format. To address this lack, and as an exercise to learn the object-file interface, developer Julian Hall put together the first version of RDOFF, which was released in NASM version ...
x87 is a floating-point-related subset of the x86 architecture instruction set.It originated as an extension of the 8086 instruction set in the form of optional floating-point coprocessors that work in tandem with corresponding x86 CPUs.
Norton Guides manual and disks. Norton Guides were a product family sold by Peter Norton Computing.The guides were written in 1985 by Warren Woodford for the x86 Assembly Language, C, BASIC, and Forth languages and made available to DOS users via a terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) program that integrated with programming language editors on IBM PC type computers.
