Registerindirect
Register indirect is a computer architecture addressing mode in which the operand’s memory address is held in a register. The value stored at the memory location pointed to by that register is then used as the actual operand. This mode is common for implementing pointers and dynamic data structures, where the register serves as a pointer into memory.
In operation, an instruction specifies a register that contains the address of the data. The processor fetches
Variants of register indirect addressing include offset (displacement) forms and indexing, as well as post- or
Usage and performance considerations vary by architecture. Register indirect addressing provides flexibility for accessing arrays, structures,
