有点不明白高亮语句的作用, 在stackoverflow的一篇帖子中找到了答案.

; This puts the address of the stack frame bottom (lowest address) into edi...
         lea     edi,[ebp-0C0h]
; ...and then fill the stack frame with the uninitialised data value (ecx = number of 
; dwords, eax = value to store)
        mov     ecx,30h
        mov     eax,0CCCCCCCCh
        rep stos dword ptr es:[edi]

即, rep指令的目的是重复其上面的指令. ECX的值是重复的次数.

所以, 我列出的代码的作用是将栈上从ebp-0xcc开始的位置向高地址方向的内存赋值0xCCCCCCCC,次数重复0x33(51)次. 注意0xCCCCCCCC代表着未被初始化.

 

把STOS和REP的功能弄清楚, 上面的答案就不难理解了.

=================

STOS指令的作用是将eax中的值拷贝到ES:EDI指向的地址. 如果设置了direction flag, 那么edi会在该指令执行后减小, 如果没有设置direction flag, 那么edi的值会增加, 这是为了下一次的存储做准备.

REP可以是任何字符传指令(CMPS, LODS, MOVS, SCAS, STOS)的前缀. REP能够引发其后的字符串指令被重复, 只要ecx的值不为0, 重复就会继续. 每一次字符串指令执行后, ecx的值都会减小.
