NAME

Asm::X86 - List of instructions and registers of Intel x86-compatible processors, validating and converting instructions and memory references.

VERSION

Version 0.20

DESCRIPTION

This module provides the user with the ability to check whether a given string represents an x86 processor register or instruction. It also provides lists of registers and instructions and allows to check if a given expression is a valid addressing mode. Other subrotuines include converting between AT&T and Intel syntaxes.

SYNOPSIS

use Asm::X86 qw(@instr is_instr);

print "YES" if is_instr ("MOV");

 These check if the given string parameter belongs to the specified
 class of registers or instructions or is a vaild addressing mode.
 The "convert*" functions can be used to convert the given instruction (including the
  operands)/addressing mode between AT&T and Intel syntaxes.
 The "_intel" and "_att" suffixes mean the Intel and AT&T syntaxes, respectively.
 No suffix means either Intel or AT&T.

 The following arrays are exported on request:
	@regs8_intel @regs16_intel @segregs_intel @regs32_intel @regs64_intel @regs_mm_intel

	@regs_att @regs_fpu_att @regs_opmask_att
	@instr_intel @instr_att @instr

 These contain all register and instruction mnemonic names as lower-case strings.
 The "_intel" and "_att" suffixes mean the Intel and AT&T syntaxes, respectively.
 No suffix means either Intel or AT&T.
