assembly - What comes after QWORD? -


if

  • 8 bits byte

  • two bytes word

  • four bytes dword

  • 8 bytes qword

what name 16 bytes?

tl:dr: in nasm, after resb/resw/resd/resq there's reso, resy, , resz. in instruction mnemonics , intel terminology (used in manuals), o (oct) , dq (double-quad) both used. dqword isn't used, oword.

disassemblers use xmmword ptr [rsi] memory operand explicit sizes in masm or .intel_syntax gnu syntax. iirc, there no instructions size isn't implied mnemonic and/or register.

note question x86-specific, , intel's terminology. in other isas (like arm or mips), "word" 32 bits, x86 terminology originated 8086.

terminology in instruction mnemonics

octword used in mnemonics x86-64 instructions. e.g. cqo sign-extends rax rdx:rax.

cmpxchg16b non-vector instruction operates on 16 bytes, intel doesn't use "oct" anywhere in description. instead, describe memory location m128. manual entry doesn't use "word"-based sizes.

sse/avx integer instructions have element-size part of mnemonic. in context, dq (double-quad) used, never o (oct). example, punpckl* instructions interleave elements half of 2 source vectors full destination vector:

  • punpcklwd: word->dword (16->32)
  • punpckldq: dword->qword (32->64)
  • punpcklqdq: 2 qwords->full 128bit register (64->128).

however, it's ever dq, not dqword. double-quadword sounds unnatural, think might used in intel manuals occasionally. sounds better if leave out "word", , "store double-quad @ location". if want attach "word" it, think oword sounds natural.

there's movdqa load/store/reg-reg moves. mercifully, when avx extended vector width 256b, kept same mnemonics , didn't call 256b version vmovqqa.

some instructions manipulating 128-bit lanes of 256-bit registers have 128 in name, vextractf128, new intel (other cmpxchg8b).

assembler directives:

from nasm manual:

3.2.1 db , friends: declaring initialized data

db, dw, dd, dq, dt, do, dy , dz used ... (table of examples)

do, dy , dz not accept numeric constants operands.

dt ten-byte x87 float. 16 bytes, dy ymmword (32 bytes), , dz 64 bytes (avx512 zmm). since don't support numeric constants initializers, guess use them string literal initalizers? more normal anyway db/dw/dd/dq comma-separated list of per-element initializers.

similarly, can reserve uninitialized space.

realarray       resq    10              ; array of ten reals  ymmval:         resy    1               ; 1 ymm register  zmmvals:        resz    32              ; 32 zmm registers

terminology in intrinsics, , avx512

as mentioned in answer on how can microsoft size of word in winapi 16 bits?, avx512's per-element masking during other operations makes naming tricky. vshuff32x4 shuffles 128b elements, masking @ 32bit element granularity.

however, intel not backing away word=16 bits. e.g. avx512bw , avx512dq put terminology right in name. intrinsics use them, previous epi32, not d. (i.e. _mm256_broadcastd_epi32(__m128i), _mm256_broadcastw_epi16(__m128i). b/w/d/q totally redundant. maybe mistake?)

(does else find asm mnemonics easier remember , type annoyingly-long intrinsics? have know asm mnemonics read compiler output, nice if intrinsics used mnemonics instead of second naming scheme.)

angular - Is it possible to get native element for formControl? -

i've got angular2 reactive form . created formcontrol s , assigned input fields by [formcontrol]=... . understand creates nativeelement <-> formcontrol link. my question: possible nativeelement formcontrol ? wanna myformcontrol.nativeelement.focus() i can share 1 terrible solution works me. in reactive forms can use either 1) formcontroldirective ts mycontrol = new formcontrol('') template <input type="text" [formcontrol]="mycontrol"> or 2) formcontrolname ts myform: formgroup; constructor(private fb: formbuilder) {} ngoninit() { this.myform = this.fb.group({ foo: '' }); } template <form [formgroup]="myform"> <input type="text" formcontrolname="foo"> </form> so these directives write patch like 1) formcontroldirective const originformcontrolngonchanges = formcontroldirective.prototype.ngonchanges; formcontroldirective.proto

unity3d - Rotate an object to face an opposite direction -

i have object , b. when click on object b, rotates object b (a faces b). b doesn't face a. need following : when faces b, need face opposite direction. have code rotating @ b. how rotate face opposite direction after that? vector3 targetdirection = target - transform.position; float step = speed * time.deltatime; vector3 newdirection = vector3.rotatetowards (turretdome.transform.forward, targetdirection, step, 0.0f); turretdome.transform.rotation = quaternion.lookrotation (newdirection); you object facing object b, want inverse direction of object after that? objecta.transform.rotation = quaternion.inverse(objecta.transform.rotation) but lets assume example turretdome object a, (negate direction): turretdome.transform.rotation = quaternion.lookrotation (-newdirection); naturally, both of these snippets not show how smoothen rotation, seem know how use time.deltatime. just incase unsure, quaternion.lerp this

i working on product filters user select select box according his/her preference not getting selected value user in jquery. html code:- <select name="product_filter" id="product_filter"> <option value="price_low_first">price : low high</option> <option value="price_high_first">price : high low</option> <option value="latest">latest</option> <option value="popular">most popular</option> </select> jquery code: $(function () { $("#product_filter").change(function () { alert("hi") var selectedtext = $(this).find("option:selected").text(); var selectedvalue = $(this).val(); alert("selected text: " + selectedtext + " value: " + selectedvalue); }); }); hi believe code perfect. once please check jquery.min.js
