shmatov / cil-palindrome

CIL program for palindrome checking

Directives

• .entrypoint — defines the application entry point (the function called by .NET Runtime when the program starts).
• .maxstack — defines the maximum stack depth used by the function code. The C# compiler sets always the exact value for each function. In the sample project, I set this value to 8.

Commands

• ldstr string — loads the string constant onto the stack.
• call function(parameters) — calls the static function. Parameters for the function should be loaded onto the stack before this call
• callvirt <method> - call a method associated with an object.
• stloc name - pop a value from stack into local variable.
• ldloc name - load local variable onto stack.
• pop — pops a value from the stack. Used when we don't need to store a value in the variable.
• ret — returns from a function.
• ldarg name - load argument onto the stack.
• ldlen - push the length of array on the stack.
• conv.i4 - convert to int32, pushing int32 on stack.
• ldelem type - Load the element with type at index onto the top of the stack as an type.
