The article explains why the XOR instruction is frequently used by compilers to set a register to zero and discusses its optimization in x86 CPUs.
Educates readers on compiler optimization techniques, potentially improving code efficiency and performance.
- Compilers often use XOR eax, eax to set the EAX register to zero due to its efficiency.
- The operation is optimized by x86 CPUs as it doesn't depend on previous values, reducing execution time and code size.
- When returning a long value, writing to the lower 32 bits of rax with xor eax, eax sets all 64 bits to zero without additional cost.
- Partial register writes like writing to an e-register result in automatic zeroing of higher bits.
Discussion (198):
54 min
The discussion revolves around the efficiency and historical context of using XOR versus MOV to set a register to zero in assembly language programming, with insights into CPU architectures like x86, ARM64, MIPS, and Z80.
- XOR is preferred over MOV to set a register to zero due to its efficiency in instruction size and performance.
- Different CPU architectures have unique features and trade-offs, such as the presence or absence of dedicated zero registers.
