Context is that protagonist suddenly found himself in unusual place/situation and trying to understand where he is and how he can possibly got there. After some rejected ideas he "thinks" this. (Situation in no way is related to "lever").



"Complete" sentence is:




てことは――。




I'm not even sure if it should be read as て こと は or てこ と は.
Both variants seems to make no sense. From context I suspect that it may be some swear, but edict has many swear words, but not this...



Any suggestions?

          てことは is a more informal version of ということは, which means "That is to say ..." or "What this means is ...". 梃子【てこ】 ("lever") is not relevant as all.



          て (or って in the middle of a sentence) is a colloquial particle that works like と or という. て/という refers to what has been mentioned in the previous context. You may have seen sentences that start with という, like in というのは, というわけで, と聞きました, etc.




          えっ？　てことは、君はまだ学生なのか？

          Wait, does that mean you're still a student?

            @sklott I suppose it's simply because starting a sentence with っ is nonstandard. (It does happen in casual light novels and such.)

          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...
