History




Sign showing the former borough


Cromer Street was formerly called Lucas Street and was renamed in 1818. In the earlier 1840s, it was described as being occupied by a class of poor 'small tradesmen and artisan lodgers' in densely crowded lodgings.[1] On it is Church of the Holy Cross, which was built by Joseph Peacock and dedicated in 1888.


105 houses were built in the street in the early 19th century, but it has largely been rebuilt and consists of over 1,000 council and housing properties, mostly pre-1919 railway tenements of fine architectural qualities on the north side, and on the south a "striking sequence of nine 6-storey slabs of flats of 1949–1951 by Hening & Chitty... They were singled out by Pevsner in 1952 as some of the first good post-war flats" The area has suffered deprivation and crime and[2] in 1996, was the subject of a £46 million regeneration project.[3]
Nowadays there is a very large Bangladeshi Muslim population living in the area.[4]



Transport


The nearest tube stations are King's Cross St. Pancras, Russell Square, and Euston.



Pubs




The Boot


The street contains two pubs: The Lucas Arms at the east end, on the junction with Gray's Inn Road, and The Boot at the west end, near the junction with Judd Street. The Boot Tavern was the headquarters of the Gordon rioters and later was mentioned in Charles Dickens' book, Barnaby Rudge; it was rebuilt in 1801.[5] The Lucas Arms has been used for meetings of political organisations.[6][7]

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...
