x86-64 Assembly

Purpose

Guide agents through x86-64 assembly: reading compiler output, understanding the ABI, writing inline asm, and common patterns.

Triggers

• "How do I read the assembly GCC generated?"
• "What are the x86-64 registers?"
• "What is the calling convention on Linux/macOS?"
• "How do I write inline assembly in C?"
• "How do I use SSE/AVX intrinsics?"
• "This assembly uses %rsp / %rbp — what does it mean?"

Workflow

1. Generate and read assembly
