x86 Assembly Cheat

x86 IA-32 and x86-64 userland minimal examples tutorial. Hundreds of runnable asserts. Nice GDB setup. IO done with libc, so OS portable in theory. Tested in Ubuntu 18.04. Containers (ELF), linking, calling conventions. System land cheat at: https://github.com/cirosantilli/x86-bare-metal-examples, ARM cheat at: https://github.com/cirosantilli/arm-assembly-cheat
