Terminology: "registers" in assembly language programming -
I have heard terminology: register, hardware register, program register, register file.
What is the difference between all these? And in the website, what is the type of ex register? Program register?
There is a storage area inside a register CPU. Here are some definitions:
- A register file is an array of registers - see for a complete description.
- The eX Register CPU is the registrant register of Intel x86 family - this is where integer mathematics is done.
- Program register (I think that you mean program counter) is a special purpose register in which the next machine code instruction is to be detected
