#PURPOSE: This program converts an input file 
#to an output file with all letters 
#converted to uppercase.

#PROCESSING:
#(1)Open the input file
#(2)Open the output file
#(3)While we're not at the end of the input file
#  (a)read part of file into our memory buffer
#  (b)go throught each byte of memory, if the byte is a lower-case letter, convert it to uppercase
#  (c)write the memory buffer to output file

 #PURPOSE: This function actually does the
 # conversion to upper case for a block
 #
 #INPUT:The first parameter is the location

 #of the block of memory to convert
 #The second parameter is the length of
 #that buffer
 #
 #OUTPUT: This function overwrites the current
 #buffer with the upper-casified version.
 #
 ##VARIABLES: %rax - beginning of buffer
 #%rbx - length of buffer
 #%rdi - current buffer offset
 #%cl - current byte being examined
 #(first part of %rcx)

 ###CONSTANTS##
 #The lower boundary of our search
 .equ LOWERCASE_A, 'a'
 #The upper boundary of our search
 .equ LOWERCASE_Z, 'z'
 #Conversion between upper and lower case
 .equ UPPER_CONVERSION, 'A' - 'a'
 
 
 ###STACK STUFF###
 .equ ST_BUFFER_LEN, 8 #Length of buffer
 .equ ST_BUFFER, 12 #actual buffer
 
convert_to_upper:
 push %rbp
 mov %rsp, %rbp
 ###SET UP VARIABLES###
 mov ST_BUFFER(%rbp), %rax
 mov ST_BUFFER_LEN(%rbp), %rbx
 mov $0, %rdi

 #if a buffer with zero length was given
 #to us, just leave
 cmp $0, %rbx
 je end_convert_loop

convert_loop:
 #get the current byte
 movb (%rax,%rdi,1), %cl

 #go to the next byte unless it is between
 #'a' and 'z'
 cmpb $LOWERCASE_A, %cl
 jl next_byte
 cmpb $LOWERCASE_Z, %cl
 jg next_byte

 #otherwise convert the byte to uppercase
 addb $UPPER_CONVERSION, %cl
 #and store it back
 movb %cl, (%rax,%rdi,1)

next_byte:
 inc %rdi #next byte
 cmp %rdi, %rbx #continue unless
                #we've reached the
                #end
				
 jne convert_loop

end_convert_loop:
 #no return value, just leave
 mov %rbp, %rsp
 pop %rbp
 ret

按照书上代码敲的，但是没有结果，也不报错，心累，先这样吧。

2.64位计算机上不同寄存器的作用

不同位数计算机上寄存器(register)：

r8 = AL AH BL BH CL CH DL DH

r16 = AX BX CX DX BP SP SI DI

r32 = EAX EBX ECX EDX EBP ESP ESI EDI

r64 = RAX RBX RCX RDX RBP RSP RSI RDI R8 R9 R10 R11 R12 R13 R14 R15

个人认为，其实作者应该先把各个寄存器的作用列出来，这样读者才能知道代码里为什么使用这个寄存器，不然自己写的时候根本不知道使用哪个寄存器。寄存器的作用可以搜索《System V Application Binary Interface AMD64 Architecture Processor Supplement》手册(如：https://refspecs.linuxbase.org/elf/x86_64-abi-0.99.pdf)，手册里面"Figure 3.4: Register Usage"有介绍。这里把它列出来，方便查看：

Register	Usage	callee saved
%rax	temporary register; with variable arguments passes information about the number of vector registers used; 1st return register	No
%rbx	callee-saved register	Yes
%rcx	used to pass 4th integer argument to functions	No
%rdx	used to pass 3rd argument to functions; 2nd return register	No
%rsp	stack pointer	Yes
%rbp	callee-saved register; optionally used as frame pointer	Yes
%rsi	used to pass 2nd argument to functions	No
%rdi	used to pass 1st argument to functions	No
%r8	used to pass 5th argument to functions	No
%r9	used to pass 6th argument to functions	No
%r10	temporary register, used for passing a function's static chain pointer	No
%r11	temporary register	No
%r12-r14	callee-saved registers	Yes
%r15	callee-saved register; optionally used as GOT base pointer	Yes
%xmm0--%xmm1	used to pass and return floating point arguments	No
%xmm2--%xmm7	used to pass floating point arguments	No
%xmm8--%xmm15	temporary registers	No
%tmm0--%tmm7	temporary registers	No
%mm0--%mm7	temporary registers	No
%k0--%k7	temporary registers	No
%st0,%st1	temporary registers, used to return long double arguments	No
%st2--%st7	temporary registers	No
%fs	thread pointer	Yes
mxcsr	SSE2 control and status word	partial
x87 SW	x87 status word	No
x87 CW	x87 control word	Yes
tilecfig	Tile control register	No

二、英语总结

无。
