assembly notation clarification lea

Question

In the following code, I am having trouble understanding what is happening in the parentheses. Is it doing like %edx + 1 * %ecx or something?

lea    (%ecx,%edx,1),%ebx

Thanks!

Ehh, really I was more interested in the conventions of parentheses — mharris7190, Feb 13 '14 at 09:23

That's the (slightly odd) AT&T syntax for a memory reference at address ecx + edx * 1.
