Is there a software which can create chess positions just by reading a plain text file?



For example, to produce a PDF rich with math text, one can use TeX to compile a plain text file and get the desired output with precision.



Similarly, is there such a software (is TeX a software?) which does something similar with chess?

You are looking for Forsythe-Edwards notation + a front-end to compile it into an image. You can use Xboard as a front end.



Check out Xboard. Read the manual and look up the "Load Position" command:




Load Position



Sets up a position from a position file. A pop-up dialog
prompts you for the file name. The shifted Ctrl-O key is a keyboard
equivalent. If the file contains more than one saved position, and you
want to load the Nth one, type the number N after the file name,
separated by a space. Position files must be in FEN (Forsythe-Edwards
notation), or in the format that the Save Position command writes when
oldSaveStyle is turned on.

  • To answer the other part of your question: TeX is a software, yes. More generally, it's a language. It takes input conforming to a grammar, and compiles it into output according to formatting rules. FEN + XBoard can do the same thing.

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...
