I want to set an option to a string containing full path of current working directory. For example



set tags=getcwd()."tags" " retrieve the full path of the tags file in current workding directory


However, vim seems only accept expansion for let variables, it don't expand the function in set context.



Is there way to achieve expand things in set?






variables set

          You can use :let with Vim options as well, by prefixing the option name with a & sigil; cp. :help :let-option



          let &tags = getcwd().'tags'


          Note that the literal string must be in single quotes (or the backslash doubled); else, the t will expand to a tab character.



          The other way would be by using :execute, but then you'd have to take care of escaping, so this is not recommended:



          execute 'set tags='.escape(getcwd(), ' ').'tags'

          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...
