This book is the latest in Randall Hyde's iconic series on assembly language programming. A comprehensive masterclass on 64-bit ARM, it guides you through the instruction set for the increasingly popular 64-bit ARM CPU, teaching you to translate high-level language operations into assembly language, write powerful programs unique to ARM, and handle the development of large software projects easily. This book's 'quick-start' chapter lets you hit the ground running, showing you how to begin writing simple programs right away. After learning basic 64-bit ARM architecture and syntax for the GNU assembler, Hyde goes in-depth on the fundamentals of machine organization, computer data representation and operations, and memory access. After building a strong foundational knowledge for mastering GAS, control structures, and arithmetic functions, in later chapters you'll be ready to dive into advanced ARM programming - and that's when the real fun begins. Full of illuminating illustrations, portable source code, and hands-on exercises that test your skills, The Art of ARM Assembly is an essential reference guide from the world's foremost expert on the subject.
