Every night a man makes a cake and eats it.

Sometimes he makes a half a cake, and sometimes none.

Every few years, the dog comes to eat the cake,

But very few times does he eat all of it.

Then the man comes and chases the dog off to make another.



What am I describing?

Is it maybe:




Earth (dog), Sun (man), and the Moon (cake)




Every night a man makes a cake and eats it.




Every night the Moon rises, visible because it reflects the Sun's light.




Sometimes he makes a half a cake, and sometimes none.




The Moon is not always full, and there are also moonless nights.




Every few years, the dog comes to eat the cake,




We have eclipse of the Moon every now and then, when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, and throws the shadow on the Moon.




But very few times does he eat all of it.




But rarely it is a full eclipse.




Then the man comes and chases the dog off to make another,




When the eclipse is done, the Sun again lights up the Moon. :)

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...
