Class AsmTool

java.lang.Object
  com.cmpware.fastmodel.AsmTool

public class AsmTool
extends java.lang.Object

This class provides support for quickly and easily building a simple assembler. This is done by taking an Instruction[] instruction set description array and using it to drive the assembly. Features: Supports variable length instructions. Arbitrary length instructions. Assumptions: Big Endian Instructions are byte aligned. No verification of fields is done (overlaps, etc). Note that this tool is only useful when there is a close correspondence between the fields in the binary instruction word and the fields in the assembly language. This is true for most modern microprocessors, but complex decode, fields made of non-adjacent bits, field overloading or other similar complications will require significant 'fixup'.
