Refresh memory ...

[James Ladd]

Hi, can someone refresh my memory as to the meaning of

mov eax,[eax]

Does it mean move into eax the value pointed to by eax ?

ie:  [eax] means take the eax register value and treat it like a pointer to memory.
      Like p  vs *p    in C

sounds right   :U

Yes, [eax] is an indirect memory operand, see the section about half way down the page here:
