An assembler included in your program to assemble instructions at
execution time (run-time). e.g. you write things like:
MOVBrr(X86_BL, X86_DL);
MOVLmr(0, X86_NOREG, X86_RAX, 1, X86_EAX);
and you get the resulting opcodes in your buffer. This disassembles to:
00000227: 88 da mov %bl,%dl
00000229: 8b 04 05 00 00 00 8b mov 0x0(,%rax,1),%eax
Otherwise, it's difficult to maintain if you hand-assemble things, and
this actually can be reused for other projects. ;-)
Bye,
Gwenole.
