 Posted: Sun May 31, 2020 2:59 pm Post subject: RAX vs other Registers difference? |
 |
|
Hello all, I'm running into a bit of a problem that only RAX seems to be able to fix and I would like to understand why.
| Code: |
aobscan(P1Focus,48 8B 87 F8 00 00 00 48 63 80 70) // should be unique
alloc(newmem,$1000,P1Focus)
globalalloc(player, $1000)
newmem:
push rbx
mov [player], rbx
|
This code works
| Code: |
aobscan(P1Focus,48 8B 87 F8 00 00 00 48 63 80 70) // should be unique
alloc(newmem,$1000,P1Focus)
globalalloc(player, $1000)
player:
DB 1, 1, 1, 1
newmem:
push rbx
mov rbx, [player]
|
This doesn't work
| Code: |
aobscan(P1Focus,48 8B 87 F8 00 00 00 48 63 80 70) // should be unique
alloc(newmem,$1000,P1Focus)
globalalloc(player, $1000)
newmem:
push rax
mov rax, [player]
|
This works.
Why is it that only rax works but nor rbx?[/code] |

only rax can address a 64-bit address in the instruction itself. It's the only one that has been designated an instruction to do so, all others can only do RIP relative addressing
your alloc of player without specifying the region will likely be more than 2GB away, so RIP relative addressing can not target it (RIP relative is only 32-bit)
you can allocate player near newmem and fix it like that, or use rax, or do:
| Code: |
mov rbx,player
mov rbx,[rbx]

Thank you for your response. I tried to allocate player near newmem but RBX didn't work, so I thought that isn't the issue here, but now that you've explained it it makes sense.
Do you have a list of special functions for the registers that I can look into? Like for example you said RAX is the only one with 64bit address, are there any other things I can find out about other registers maybe? Thanks again! |
