I was wondering what the term is for how bendable an object is. Also, does this feature vary depending on the thickness of the object? Say, for example, I want to know how bendable a ruler is. Does the thickness affect the bendable-ness of the ruler?

          If you refer to an object the measure of the property you look for is the bending stiffness. The bending stiffness is proportional to the axial Young Modulus and to the cross sectional moment of inertia (a function of the thickness). The so-called flexural Young modulus is a property of the material and not of the beam geometric parameters.

          I have seen the property referred to as the flexural modulus, but I've also read it often does not vary significantly from the standard Young's modulus. This property is inherent to the material, but if you ask, "How far does the material of a given length and thickness bend given a certain applied force," then the answer is that the object will bend more the longer and skinnier it is. This property can be determined with a three-point test.

          How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

          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.
