Subject: IA32 | [OFFTOPIC]: Segementation Question
Date: Thu, 02 Jun 2005 21:06:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <429F58CD.4020505@tiscali.de> (raw)
Hi.
I'm currently doing some research on the IA32 Segementation Concept. But there's one thing I don't understand:
If I perform a far jump it looks like this:
jmp 16bit:32bit
The 16bit are representing the segement number and the 32bit the offset. But to what refers the 16bit? To the GDT or the current LDT?

Thanks
