When/why compiler will choose FF/0 instead 40+rd if using a register?

in long mode 40+ is REX prefix, only way to encode inc/dec is by modrm opcode.

In long mode lots of opcodes referring to the high 8-bit registers are prefix bytes to use r8-r15.

>in long mode 40+ is REX prefix
yes, from what I see it is 40..4F

This is why you see in the 64-bit mode column the letters N.E. bad crash

In 32-bit code fasm will choose the single-byte variant.
In 64-bit code fasm has no choice and "chooses" the two-byte variant.

hmm.. so is there many ways to do the same?

Manual says FE /0 is to r/m8, but when i look to inc al it shows me:
Code:
FEC0           inc al    

what that C mean? from where it comes?

Well it is explained in the nice AMD/Intels manuals. modREGr/m - the mod part must be 11b for a register operand.
