I'm struggling with getting access to cygwin /dev/clipboard device uder arch linux headless guest via VirtualBox. I tried to mount cygwin root directory as a shared folder in guest, but for some reason VBox mounts only files that are 777 in /dev directory. I tried to change permission to /dev/clipboard, but for some reason I can not change permissions on files under Cygwin (known issue from what I found), although my drive fs is NTFS and I tried to delete noacl from Cygwin's /etc/fstab - not fixed issue.



So, summarizing, my question is:
I wish to perform printf 'to clipboard' > ~/host/dev/clipboard, but there's no such file in /host/dev directory



Solution is one of those:



  • Change permission to /dev/clipboard on host, but can not do it for some reason.


  • Force VirtualBox to mount all files in /dev directory (dont know how to do that and why isnt it mounted in first place).


  • Create file /tmp/clip, use printf 'to clipboard' > ~/host/tmp/clip and somehow sync it with /dev/clipboard, for example in loop each n millisecond checking which is newer and either update /dev/clipboard or not. If there's easy bash command for such two files sync - please give example.

          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...
