Understanding x86 Addressing Modes | Pointers in x86 Assembly | Swap Function Explained | lecture 2
Addressing modes are the backbone of modern computer architectures, this video breaks them down implementing a swap function in x86 ISA.

This is second part of our 6-part series, we explain how effective memory addresses are computed in x86 using rich addressing modes. You’ll learn how the swap function operates at a low level, especially how it uses pointer parameters (int*) passed using combinations of Displacement (D), Base (Rb), Index (Ri), and Scale.
🧠 Topics Covered:
Basics of x86 addressing modes
Register Indirect Addressing
How pointer parameters are handled in assembly
Comparison of x86 and x64 architectures
Practical demonstration with swap function in assembly
📌 Perfect for students, beginners in assembly programming, and those preparing for OS or Computer Architecture exams.
