[Update <\/strong>– diStorm3 News<\/a>]<\/p>\n

I have been working more and more on diStorm3 recently. The core code is already written, and it works so great. I am still not going to talk about the structure itself that diStorm uses to format the instructions. There are two API’s now, the old one, which takes a stream and formats it to text and a newer one, which takes a stream and formats it into structures. This one is much faster. Unlike diStorm64, where the text-formatting was coupled in the decoding code, it’s totally separated. For example, if you want to support AT&T syntax, you can do it in a couple of hours or less, really. I don’t like AT&T syntax, hence I am not going to implement it. I bet still many people don’t know how to read it without confusing…<\/p>\n

Hereby, I am asking you guys to come up with ideas for diStorm3. So far I got some new ideas from people, which I am going to implement. Such as:
\n1) You will be able to tell the decoder to stop on any flow control instruction.
\n2) Instructions are going to be categorized, such as, flow-control, data-control, string instructions, io, etc. (To be honest, I am still not totally sure about this one).
\n3) Helper macros to extract data references. Since diStorm3 outputs structures, it’s really easy to know if there’s a data reference and its address. Therefore some macros will aid to do this work.
\n4) Code reference, – continues to next instruction, continues to a target according to a condition, or jump-always and call-always.<\/p>\n

I am looking to hear more suggestions from you guys. Please be sure you are talking about disassembler features, and not other layers which use the disassembler.<\/p>\n

Just wanted to let you know that diStorm3 is going to be dual licensed with GPL and commercial. diStorm64 is deprecated and I am not going to touch it anymore, though it’s still licensed as BSD, of course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
