Assembly instruction.

On a high level, the instruction is a pair of the opcode and operands. A BIL code, that describes semantics of the instruction may be attached to it. Also, semantic tags (or flags) may add further information about the instruction.

The instruction are usually created by a low level machinery, and analyzed on the later stages. So, usually, there is no need to create one manually.

For example, each block is a sequence of instructions (see Block.insns), also with each non-synthetic term there is an an Disasm.insn field, that stores an instruction from which the term was born.

module Slot : sig ... end

Instruction properties.

val of_basic : ?bil:bil -> Disasm_expert.Basic.full_insn -> t

Creating

The following functions will create insn instances from a lower level representation.

val empty : t

empty is an instruction with no known semantics

val name : t -> string

returns backend specific name of instruction

val asm : t -> string

target-specific assembler string representing the instruction

val bil : t -> bil

returns BIL program specifying instruction semantics

val ops : t -> op array

instruction operands

Instruction properties

A property or a semantic tag is some kind of attribute associated with an instruction. Usually a property is a boolean, it either holds or not. In our case we employ modular logic, and a property can have an intermediate state between true and false. That means, that we have two kinds of relations, strong "must" and weaker "may". The must property is known to be a property associated with the instruction. It is a strong knowledge. For example, if an instruction has jump property, then it is guaranteed to be a jump instruction. On the other hand, the may property represent some uncertain knowledge. For example, the load property is may as it designates that an instruction may access the main memory, or may not access, as it depends on some information, that cannot be deduced statically.

type must =
  1. | Must
type may =
  1. | May
type 'a property
val new_property : 'a -> string -> 'a property

new_property must_or_may name creates a new instruction property with the specified name.

val jump : must property

the instruction performs a non-regular control flow

val conditional : must property

under some dynamic condition the instruction may perform a non-regular control flow

val indirect : must property

the instruction is jump with a target that is not a constant

val call : must property

the instruction is a call to subroutine.

val return : must property

instruction is a return from a call

val barrier : must property

the instruction has no fall-through

val affect_control_flow : may property

the instruction may perform a non-regular control flow

val load : may property

the instruction may load from memory

val store : may property

the instruction may store to memory

val is : must property -> t -> bool

is property insn is true if insn has property

val may : may property -> t -> bool

may property insn is true if insn has property

val must : must property -> t -> t

must property insn postulate that insn must have the property

val mustn't : must property -> t -> t

must property insn postulate that insn must not have the property

val should : may property -> t -> t

must property insn postulate that insn may have the property

val shouldn't : may property -> t -> t

val pp_adt : t Regular.Std.printer

pp_adt prints instruction in ADT format, suitable for reading by evaluating in many languages, e.g. Python, Js, etc

val to_string : t -> string

to_string x returns a human-readable representation of x

val str : unit -> t -> string

str () t is formatted output function that matches "%a" conversion format specifier in functions, that prints to string, e.g., sprintf, failwithf, errorf and, surprisingly all Lwt printing function, including Lwt_io.printf and logging (or any other function with type ('a,unit,string,...) formatN`. Example:

Or_error.errorf "type %a is not valid for %a"
  Type.str ty Exp.str exp
val pps : unit -> t -> string

synonym for str

val ppo : Core_kernel.Out_channel.t -> t -> unit

will print to a standard output_channel, useful for using in printf, fprintf, etc.

val pp_seq : Format.formatter -> t Core_kernel.Sequence.t -> unit

prints a sequence of values of type t

this will include pp function from Core that has type t printer, and can be used in Format.printf family of functions

val (=) : t -> t -> bool
val (>) : t -> t -> bool
val (<) : t -> t -> bool
val (<>) : t -> t -> bool
val equal : t -> t -> bool
val compare : t -> t -> int

compare t1 t2 returns 0 if t1 is equal to t2, a negative integer if t1 is less than t2, and a positive integer if t1 is greater than t2.

val min : t -> t -> t
val max : t -> t -> t
val ascending : t -> t -> int

ascending is identical to compare. descending x y = ascending y x. These are intended to be mnemonic when used like List.sort ~compare:ascending and List.sort ~cmp:descending, since they cause the list to be sorted in ascending or descending order, respectively.

val descending : t -> t -> int
val between : t -> low:t -> high:t -> bool

between t ~low ~high means low <= t <= high

val clamp_exn : t -> min:t -> max:t -> t

clamp_exn t ~min ~max returns t', the closest value to t such that between t' ~low:min ~high:max is true.

Raises if not (min <= max).

include Regular.Std.Data.S with type t := t
type info = string * [ `Ver of string ] * string option

name,Ver v,desc information attached to a particular reader or writer.

val version : string

Data representation version. After any change in data representation the version should be increased.

Serializers that are derived from a data representation must have the same version as a version of the data structure, from which it is derived. This kind of serializers can only read and write data of the same version.

Other serializers can actually read and write data independent on its representation version. A serializer, that can't store data of current version simply shouldn't be added to a set of serializers.

It is assumed, that if a reader and a writer has the same name and version, then whatever was written by the writer should be readable by the reader. The round-trip equality is not required, thus it is acceptable if some information is lost.

It is also possible, that a reader and a writer that has the same name are compatible. In that case it is recommended to use semantic versioning.
