I'm new to coding, running a software called Madagascar within Cygwin.
I have made a SConscript file and then run the command scons, which works. But when I run the command scons view, which is supposed to plot/display a graph made in the SConscript file, I get the error: 



freeglut (/home/madagascar/bin/sfpen): failed to open display ''
scons: *** [first.view] Error 1
scons: building terminated because of errors.


Can somebody help me out? I am not sure what to do about this freeglut thing.

  • Are you running the X server ?

  • Hi, I am attempting to but it's flawed. The XWin Server does not open for me from the Start menu. The command startx works to open some sort of plotting window but can only plot one figure there. If I try to run the multi-window version (command is startxwin), nothing opens. Another thing is I have run the command "export DISPLAY =:0.0" in hopes that that is setting my display environment variable correctly - maybe this is actually incorrect though and this is the cause for the error

  • Startxwin does not open anything. It shows an X icon on the menu toolbar and from that you can start the Xterminal or other programs.

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...
