A comprehensive introduction to 64-bit ARM assembly language The Art of ARM Assembly is the latest in Randall Hyde's iconic series of books on assembly language programming. This comprehensive masterclass guides you through the instruction set for the increasingly popular 64-bit ARM CPU, teaching you to both translate high-level language operations into assembly language and write powerful programs unique to ARM. This book's "quick-start" chapter gets you started writing simple programs as rapidly as possible. You'll first learn basic 64-bit ARM architecture and syntax for the GNU assembler. You'll go in-depth on the fundamentals of machine organization, computer data representation and operations, and memory access. After building a strong foundation by mastering Gas procedures, control structures, and arithmetic functions, you'll dive into advanced ARM programming. Each chapter includes exercises to test your skills, as well as resources for further learning. You'll learn to: Convert between numeric formats on the ARM Work with x86-64 assembly language's famously robust set of bit-manipulation operations Speed up computations with table lookups, use vector instructions, and operate on strings Write standalone code in assembly language without relying on a C/C++ main program, producing high-quality ARM programs Simplify your code using Gas compile-time features Handle the development of large software projects quickly and easily
As ARM-based personal computers become more widespread, The Art of ARM Assembly adds valuable skills to your toolkit, teaching you to write complete applications in this low-level programming language.
