Modern X86 Assembly Language Programming

What Hacker News says

   Assuming you are interested in learning not just Assembly but how to use it in conjunction with a high-level language (almost always C/C++);

   Background:

   --- Matt Pietrek's "Just Enough Assembly Language to Get By" - http://bytepointer.com/resources/pietrek_asm_pt1.htm

   --- Hongjiu Lu "ELF: From The Programmer's Perspective" - http://beefchunk.com/documentation/sys-programming/binary_fo...

   Books:

   --- Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective (3rd Edition) by Bryant & O'Hallaron - https://www.amazon.com/Computer-Systems-Programmers-Perspect...

   For bare-metal coding it is best to get started with Embedded Programming using MCUs (ARM, AVR, 8051 etc.).

   For x86 you may find the following useful;

   1) Computer systems: A programmer's perspective by Bryant and O'Hallaron.

   2) Low-Level Programming: C, Assembly, and Program Execution on Intel® 64 Architecture by Igor Zhirkov.

   3) Modern X86 Assembly Language Programming by Daniel Kusswurm.

   4) Agner Fog's writings.

   5) Ciro Santilli's x86 examples - https://github.com/cirosantilli/x86-bare-metal-examples

   Some of the resources I've ran across (assuming x86 context):

   * Brief intros in Agner Fog's manuals:

   - Chapter 12, Using vector operations in http://www.agner.org/optimize/optimizing_cpp.pdf

   - Chapter 13, Vector programming in http://www.agner.org/optimize/optimizing_assembly.pdf

   * http://www.whatsacreel.net76.net/asmtutes.html / https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0C5C980A28FEE68D

   * Kusswurm (2014) "Modern X86 Assembly Language Programming - 32-bit, 64-bit, SSE, and AVX"

   * Hughes (2015) "Single-Instruction Multiple-Data Execution"

   * The author's website :-) http://wm.ite.pl/articles/#assembler-x86-fpu-mmx-sse-sse2-ss...

   Focusing on x86-64 (don't waste your time starting with the 32-bit variant when learning, let alone x87 FPU instructions, there's plenty of up-to-date materials for contemporary architectures nowadays):
