Product Description

Product Description

Master x86 assembly language from the Linux point of view! Assembly language lies at the boundary between hardware and software. While it can be described purely in terms of how it controls hardware, many of its features only make sense in the context of operating systems and programming languages. In Linux Assembly Language Programming, Bob Neveln explains all the key features of x86 assembly language in the context of the Linux operating system and the C language. The book's step-by-step, one-concept-at-a-time coverage is designed to help experienced hardware programmers move to Linux, and learn how to create Linux device drivers. As developers learn new x86 assembly language skills, they also gain "under the hood" insight into how Linux works -- and into the way processor and software design impact each other. For C programmers who want to understand more about the interactions between Linux and hardware; and for assembler programmers who want to apply their skills in the Linux environment.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good info, bad examples!, 9 Jan 2003
This is a great book to learn about linux assembly language, but not a good book to use linux assembly language. It taught me how Linux Assembly works & how to use it, but for some reason i could not make a single example compile from this book.

I tried with many compilers on 2 seperate linux machine, and not a single program compiled.

Also, the CD was missing from my copy. I did'nt realise till I had the book home, by then it was to late to prove whether the CD was in the book when I bought it, so I let the matter go.

Apart from those issues, I suppose it's worth buying to learn the theory of Linux Assembly Language.
