I have noticed a weird behavior in GNU screen session while using arrow keys. I'm sure it is caused because of a change in setting/configuration. I'm looking here for the root cause of it.



Problem caused: Whenever, I want to switch to view the list of the bash sessions in attached screen using arrow keys, I couldn't. I had to use number keys to move to different bash sessions. Also, while using VIM, I couldn't traverse using arrow keys.



Problem solution: I could fixed it using the reset command for GNU screen session I had.



However, I'm still not sure what caused the issue.

    check the TERM settings in your shell, and in the screen tabs. If your terminal is being set to VT-100, or a terminal that doesn't interpret the arrow keys as arrows, that could be the culprit. Or it may be that screen is trying to set TERM to screen, but you don't have the screen termcap installed. Try running screen -T xterm and see if you get the expected behavior.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
