Module encoding

Available on crate feature x86 only.

Contains the encoding machinery for the various x64 instruction formats.

Modules

evex

Encodes EVEX instructions. These instructions are those added by the AVX-512 extensions. The EVEX encoding requires a 4-byte prefix:

rex

Encodes instructions in the standard x86 encoding mode. This is called IA-32E mode in the Intel manuals but corresponds to the addition of the REX-prefix format (hence the name of this module) that allowed encoding instructions in both compatibility mode (32-bit instructions running on a 64-bit OS) and in 64-bit mode (using the full 64-bit address space).

vex

Encodes VEX instructions. These instructions are those added by the Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX).

Traits

ByteSink

The encoding formats in this module all require a way of placing bytes into a buffer.
