Assembly V: While and For loop structure in x86 Assembly | loops in x86 | x86 Crash Course
A programmer must be aware of how a compiler implements While and For loop in assembly. This crash course on x86 assembly gives a detailed account of how high level constructs in C are implemented in x86 Assembly.
The video will start off with implementing a Do-while loop, followed by its while-do variant in the same group of the control structure and it looks at simple examples to understand their differences. And then we move on to a for-loop implementation and understand its similarities with the while-do loop using this nice little algorithm that computes a the power of a number. The algorithm will be compiled using a C compiler i.e. GCC. Consequently, this video will also kind of serve as a short refresher on C programming and how to use the GCC from the command line to compile the program. And we will also direct the compiler from the command prompt to generate for us a copy of the Assembly file to see whether the implementation of a for loop is similar to a while-do loop.
