I'm planning to write a future post on "common compiler generated code" to recognize those patterns. The intention of this post was to encourage folks who think asm is scary to give it a try because it's not as bad as they think. You really need to spend a bunch of time with godbolt or a debugger with a side-by-side source and asm view to really build an intuition for these things. I want to try to give folks the tools they need to start building that intuition, because you can read dozens of articles about asm and still have no idea what you're doing.
