Libasm provides rich information on the code of binary files loaded in the eresi framework, such as instruction and operands analysis, semantic attributes for instructions and operands, allowing straight-forward construction of the control flow graph and the call graph (among others). libasm relies on a a modular and extensible handling of instruction formats using the reflective vector data structure provided by libaspect, which lead to a uniform intregration of libasm features into the eresi framework language.

libasm can be used in many operations requesting an access to instructions information:

* generate listing of instructions for basic blocks or functions
on-demand.
* helping at building different kind of flow graphs by assigning
semantic attributes to instructions and operands.
* searching for longuests sequences of valid instruction in a buffer.
* searching for push or pop sequences in binary code.
* disassembling sparc opcodes with ia32 engine to check if code may
be valid on both architecture.
this package contains the development files provided by libasm (the static library - i.e the .a file - and the libasm headers).
