Module X86_proc

Definitions shared between the 32 and 64 bit Intel backends.

Helpers for textual emitters

val string_of_reg8l : X86_ast.reg64 -> string
val string_of_reg8h : X86_ast.reg8h -> string
val string_of_reg16 : X86_ast.reg64 -> string
val string_of_reg32 : X86_ast.reg64 -> string
val string_of_reg64 : X86_ast.reg64 -> string
val string_of_registerf : X86_ast.registerf -> string
val string_of_string_literal : string -> string
val string_of_condition : X86_ast.condition -> string
val string_of_symbol : string -> string -> string
val string_of_rounding : X86_ast.rounding -> string
val buf_bytes_directive : Buffer.t -> string -> string -> unit

Buffer of assembly code

val emit : X86_ast.instruction -> unit
val directive : X86_ast.asm_line -> unit
val reset_asm_code : unit -> unit

Code emission

val generate_code : (X86_ast.asm_line list -> unit) option -> unit

Post-process the stream of instructions. Dump it (using the provided syntax emitter) in a file (if provided) and compile it with an internal assembler (if registered through register_internal_assembler).

val assemble_file : string -> string -> int

Generate an object file corresponding to the last call to generate_code. An internal assembler is used if available (and the input file is ignored). Otherwise, the source asm file with an external assembler.

System detection

Whether calls need to go via the PLT.

Support for plumbing a binary code emitter

val register_internal_assembler : (X86_ast.asm_program -> string -> unit) -> unit
val with_internal_assembler : (X86_ast.asm_program -> string -> unit) -> (unit -> 'a) -> 'a
