Pollex

Pollex is a Rust-written library for manipulating instructions of Arm ISAs.

See Docs.rs for documentation.

Support

Pollex supports encoding of instructions to both Arm and Thumb on Arm32 targets. Arm64 support is planned.

Usage

Instructions can be created directly using the Instruction type:

use pollex::arm32::{
    Instruction,
    Predicate,
    Register,
    Sflag,
    Shifter,
};

// MOVS r0, r1
let instr = Instruction::Move {
    predicate:   Predicate::Always,
    destination: Register::R0,
    source:      Shifter::from_register(Register::R1),
    s:           Sflag::On,
};

Instructions can also be parsed from strings:

use pollex::arm32::{
    Instruction,
    Predicate,
    Register,
    Sflag,
    Shifter,
};

let instr: Instruction = "CPY r0, r1".parse()?;

// Is equivalent to:

let instr = Instruction::Move {
    predicate:   Predicate::Always,
    destination: Register::R0,
    source:      Shifter::from_register(Register::R1),
    s:           Sflag::Off,
};

# Ok::<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>>(())

But do note that the latter is currently not implemented.

Instructions can be encoded to both Arm and Thumb using the InstructionCodec type:

use pollex::arm32::{Instruction, InstructionCodec};

let instr: Instruction = "BX lr".parse()?;

let mut codec = InstructionCodec::new();

let arm_opcode   = codec.encode_arm(instr)?;
let thumb_opcode = codec.encode_thumb(instr)?;

assert_eq!(arm_opcode, 0b11100001_00101111_11111111_00011110);
assert_eq!(thumb_opcode.0, 0b01000111_01110000);
assert_eq!(thumb_opcode.1, None);

# Ok::<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>>(())
