[Inactive] Toolchain machinery for compilers, code generators, assemblers, linkers, and emulators.

DRY Machinery

Toolchain machinery for compilers, code generators, assemblers, linkers, and emulators.

Features

• Currently targets the x86-64, ARMv8 AArch64, and MIPS32 architectures.
• No runtime dependencies other than the system's C++ standard library.
• No build prerequisites beyond the Autotools toolchain and a C++11 compiler.
• Compatible with Clang and GCC, or any standard C++11 implementation.
• 100% free and unencumbered public domain software, usable in any context and for any purpose.

Examples

x86-64 JIT calculator

#include <machinery/arch/x86.h>
#include <machinery/util/buffer.h>

#include <cstdio>  /* for std::printf() */
#include <cstdlib> /* for std::atoi() */

using namespace machinery::arch;
using namespace machinery::arch::x86;
using namespace machinery::util;

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
  executable_buffer code;
  x86_emitter<executable_buffer> emit(code);

  /* Function prolog: */
  emit.push(reg64::rbp);
  emit.mov(reg64::rbp, reg64::rsp);

  /* Clear the RAX register: */
  emit.mov(reg64::rax, imm64{0});

  /* For each command-line argument: */
  for (auto i = 1; i < argc; i++) {
    /* Convert the argument to an integer: */
    const int arg = std::atoi(argv[i]);

    /* Add the integer argument to RAX: */
    emit.add(imm32(arg));
  }

  /* Function epilog: */
  emit.pop(reg64::rbp);
  emit.ret();

  /* Execute the code buffer and print out the result: */
  std::printf("%d\n", code.execute<std::int32_t>());

  return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

Build Prerequisites

• Clang (>= 3.2) or GCC (>= 4.8)
• Autoconf (>= 2.68)
• Automake (>= 1.11)
• Libtool (>= 2.2)

Note

Older releases may work, but are not actively tested for.
