Help me this question: For Intel x86 assembly, for 64 bit, what is the three letter mnemonic describing the instruction pointer?
Thank you! Can you explain what the instruction pointer is used for in assembly language?
The instruction pointer, or RIP, points to the memory address of the instruction that will be executed next by the CPU. It's a crucial register in the processor that keeps track of where the program is currently executing.
