Introduction
Harpy is a library for run-time code generation in Haskell programs.
Harpy requires several Haskell extensions and GHC-specific features (the Haskell FFI, Template Haskell, multi-parameter type classes and monad transformers).
Features
The following modules are included in this package:
Harpy.CodeGenMonad: This module defines the code generator monad, which is a combined state/reader/exception monad. It contains all the necessary details for allocating and managing code buffers.
Harpy.X86CodeGen: This module contains all the functions for generating native x86 machine code. The functions are very simple, and it is necessary to specify all addressing modes etc. when emitting an instruction.
Harpy.X86Assembler: A type class based layer on top of X86CodeGen which determines the addressing modes from the types of the operands.
Harpy.X86CGCombinators: Code generation combinators for conditionals, loops, function entry/exit code etc.
Harpy.X86Disassembler: A disassembler for x86 machine code.
Harpy.Call: Exports functions for invoking the generated code.
Notes about the implementation
X86CodeGen.lhs
The file X86CodeGen.lhs is based on a header file called x86-codegen.h from the Mono distribution, which defines macros for emitting x86 machine code directly into a memory buffer. The Haskell module is a nearly one-to-one mapping from the original macros to Haskell functions. The main differences are:
Instead of emitting the data directly into a buffer, it uses the CodeGen monad from file CodeGenMonad.lhs.
The functions are strongly typed.
Several things should be kept in mind when using this file:
Buffer overflow checks have to be done manually with checkBufferSize or ensureBufferSize
MMX, SSE, SSE2 and SSE3 instructions and registers are not supported.
64-bit mode is not supported.
The disassembler supports (in principle) 64-bit mode and SSE instructions, but this has not been tested.
