[Pgubook-readers] Chapter 3: Ending address question

[Silesius]

Hi there!

Is there any way to copy the the memory location that holds any number to a register? I try to explain: if you want to copy the memory address of data_end to %ecx, you would use: movl $data_end, %ecx. But if you try to do movl $data_items(,%edi,4), %ecx - assuming %edi holds the counter - it gives you an error?

Is there anyway to do this without using the solution given before in the list? Without using a counter and adding 4 in each loop?

 

Thanks!
