Early life and family


Kanagentran was born on 14 September 1932.[1][2] He is the son of Kanagasabapathy, a station master from Nallur in northern Ceylon.[2] He was educated at St. John's College, Jaffna and Wesley College, Colombo.[2]



Career


Kanagentran worked at the Central Bank of Ceylon, eventually becoming head of the Tamil translation section in the Economic Research Department before retiring in 1980.[2][3]


Kanagentran was an active member of the Illankai Tamil Arasu Kachchi (ITAK) but in 1970 joined V. Navaratnam's Tamil Self Rule Party.[2][4] He later re-joined ITAK, which was now part of the Tamil United Liberation Front (TULF).[3][4] Kanagentran was president of the TULF's Colombo branch.[4] He was a victim of the 1977 riots.[4] He became a high profile advocate of Tamil Eelam and changed his name to Eelaventhan which means "King of Eelam" in Tamil.[4] In 1980 he and others left ITAK to form the Tamil Eelam Liberation Front (TELF).[2] Eelaventhan was TELF's secretary.[2]


With the escalation of violence Eelaventhan, like many Sri Lankan Tamil politician, moved to Tamil Nadu in 1981.[3] He and four others were arrested in Madras in February 1997 on charges of procuring medicine for the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam.[3][4] All five were acquitted in August 1999.[3] Eelaventhan was deported to Sri Lanka on 4 December 2000.[3][5]


Eelaventhan was appointed as a Tamil National Alliance National List MP in the Sri Lankan Parliament following the 2004 parliamentary election.[6][7] He forfeited his seat in Parliament in November 2007 for being asbsent for more than three months.[8][9]


Eelaventhan emigrated to Canada where in May 2010 he was elected to the Transnational Constituent Assembly of Tamil Eelam.[10]

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...
