Miasma: an x86 machine code toolkit http://wry.me/~darius/software/miasma/ Version 0.3 By Darius Bacon <darius@wry.me> and Brian Spilsbury <brian@designix.com.au>. Distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License; see the accompanying COPYING file for details. QUICK START To run, enter (load "loadme.scm") after editing that file to use the portability-foo.scm appropriate to your Scheme system. Then enter (generate-c-assembler "c/asm.h") to generate an asm.h file. c/calc.c is a trivial sample jit compiler using it. That, and the Python equivalent below, are all there is that's usable in this version (and not very, at that). See Miasma 0.1 for a version that has seen some actual use. Similarly, you can regenerate the Python code emitter with (generate-py-assembler "python/x86.py"). To use it, cd into the python subdirectory, run `make', then `python test.py' or `python calc.py "2 3 +"'. test.py builds and calls a trivial function that adds 42 to its argument. calc.py compiles an RPN expression, then calls the compiled code. ABOUT Miasma is a Scheme program that generates x86 machine code generators. Its intended uses include compiler backends and runtime code generation, and perhaps in the future other machine-code toolkit functions like disassembly. Version 0.1 was torn bodily out of Vapour (http://vapour.sourceforge.net). 0.2 was redesigned to make it easier to generate code for different purposes from the instruction tables, e.g. backends in different languages -- though so far all I've done is a C backend. Scheme and Common Lisp backends should be easy to put back in but I haven't had a need for one yet. 0.3 adds a Python backend. DOCUMENTATION This version is undocumented. These docs were for 0.1 but should still shed some light: old/doc/Usage.text The assembler syntax old/doc/Overview.text How the implementation works LICENSE Miasma x86 machine code toolkit Copyright (C) 2000,2002 Darius Bacon and Brian Spilsbury This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
