AsmTK
-----

Assembler toolkit based on AsmJit.

* [Official Repository (asmjit/asmtk)](https://github.com/asmjit/asmtk)

* [Official Chat (gitter)](https://gitter.im/asmjit/asmjit)

Introduction
------------

AsmTK is a sister project of AsmJit library, which provides concepts that are useful mostly in AOT code-generation.

Features
--------

* Both X86 and X64 modes are supported and can be selected at runtime (i.e. they not depend on how your application is compiled).
* Asm parser can parse everything that AsmJit provides (i.e. supports all instruction sets, named labels, etc...).
* Asm parser can also parse instruction aliases defined by AsmTK (like `movsb`, `cmpsb`, `sal`, ...). AsmJit provides just generic `movs`, `cmps`, etc... so these are extras that are handled and recognized by AsmTK.
* Assembles to any `BaseEmitter`, which means that you can choose between `Assembler` and `BaseBuilder` at runtime, and that the result can be post-processed as well
* More to be added...

TODO
----

* [ ] More aliases to some SIMD instructions (to be added).
* [ ] Implement asmtk::Linker that will add the possibility to write shared libraries and executables.

AsmParser Usage Guide
---------------------

Assembler parsing is provided by `AsmParser` class, which emits to `BaseEmitter`:

```C++
#include

using namespace asmjit;
using namespace asmtk;

// Used to print binary code as hex.
static void dumpCode(const uint8_t* buf, size_t size) {
constexpr uint32_t kCharsPerLine = 39;
char hex[kCharsPerLine * 2 + 1];

size_t i = 0;
while (i < size) {
size_t j = 0;
size_t end = size - i < kCharsPerLine ? size - i : size_t(kCharsPerLine);

end += i;
while (i < end) {
uint8_t b0 = buf[i] >> 4;
uint8_t b1 = buf[i] & 15;

hex[j++] = b0 < 10 ? '0' + b0 : 'A' + b0 - 10;
hex[j++] = b1 < 10 ? '0' + b1 : 'A' + b1 - 10;
i++;
}

hex[j] = '\0';
puts(hex);
}
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
// Setup CodeHolder for X64.
Environment env(Arch::kX64);
CodeHolder code;
code.init(env);

// Attach x86::Assembler to `code`.
x86::Assembler a(&code);

// Create AsmParser that will emit to x86::Assembler.
AsmParser p(&a);

// Parse some assembly.
Error err = p.parse(
"mov rax, rbx\n"
"vaddpd zmm0, zmm1, [rax + 128]\n");

// Error handling (use asmjit::ErrorHandler for more robust error handling).
if (err) {
printf("ERROR: %08x (%s)\n", err, DebugUtils::errorAsString(err));
return 1;
}

// Now you can print the code, which is stored in the first section (.text).
CodeBuffer& buffer = code.sectionById(0)->buffer();
dumpCode(buffer.data(), buffer.size());

return 0;
}
```

You should check out the test directory to see how AsmTK integrates with AsmJit.
