Just to be sure that I've understood this instruction.
Hopefully not a duplicate.
Does leal 3(%rdi), %eax first deference the address and then compute? So we're not computing the address.

It is simply computing `rdi+3`. And yeah, you bet it is a duplicate of a gazillion questions. – Jester Apr 01 '17 at 22:07

1`lea` never dereferences by definition. – fuz Apr 01 '17 at 22:46
