ASM reg

In 16 bits

There is 4 main 16bits reg: AX, BX, CX, DX. You can access the 8 MSB from AX with AH and the 8 LSB with AL.( BH,BL, CH, CL)

SI and DI are 16bits index register often used for pointer but can contains data.

SP is stack pointer, BP is base pointer

AX(AH, AL), BX(BH, BL), CX(CH, CL), DX(DH, DL), SI, DI, SP, BP

In 32bits

Main register are "Extended" to 32bits but 16bits of 8bits direct access is not possible anymore.

EAX, EBX, ECX, EDX, ESI, EDI, ESP, EBP

In 64bits

Prefixed by R RAX, RBX, RCX, RDX, RSI, RDI, RSP, RBP
