Detailed Description

Capstone Disassembler: The disassembler relies on the capstone library to convert the StaticInst encoding into the disassembled string.

One thing to keep in mind is that the disassembled instruction might not coincide with the instruction being decoded + executed in gem5. This could be the case if there was a bug in either gem5 or in capstone itself. This scenatio is not possible with the native gem5 disassembler as the instruction mnemonic is tightly coupled with the decoded(=generated) instruction (you print what you decode)

The Capstone dispatches to the native disassembler in two cases:

a) m5 pseudo ops b) micro-ops

Member Function Documentation

◆ currHandle()

virtual const csh * gem5::trace::CapstoneDisassembler::currHandle ( const PCStateBase & pc ) const

protectedpure virtual

Return a pointer to the current capstone handle (csh).

Any ISA extension of the Capstone disassembler should initialize (with cs_open) one or more capstone handles at construcion time. (You might need more than one handle in case the ISA has more than one mode of operation, e.g. arm and arm64) The current handle in use should be returned every time the currHandle is called.

Implemented in gem5::trace::ArmCapstoneDisassembler.
