Trait yaxpeax_arch::Arch[−][src]

pub trait Arch {
    type Word: Debug + Display + PartialEq + Eq;
    type Address: AddressBounds;
    type Instruction: Instruction + LengthedInstruction<Unit = AddressDiff<Self::Address>> + Debug + Default + Sized;
    type DecodeError: DecodeErrorBounds + Debug + Display;
    type Decoder: Decoder<Self> + Default;
    type Operand;
}
Expand description

a collection of associated type parameters that constitute the definitions for an instruction set. Arch provides an Instruction and its associated Operands, which is guaranteed to be decodable by this Arch::Decoder. Arch::Decoder can always be constructed with a Default implementation, and decodes from a Reader<Arch::Address, Arch::Word>.

Arch is suitable as the foundational trait to implement more complex logic on top of; for example, it would be entirely expected to have a

pub fn emulate<A: Arch, E: Emulator<A>>(
    reader: &mut Reader<A::Address, A::Word>,
    emu: &mut E
) -> Result<A::Address, DecodeOrEvaluationError>;

in some library built on top of yaxpeax-arch.
