x86-64 CPU Architecture Simulation

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Make sure you have installed all of the following prerequisites on your machine:

flex>=2.6.4
bison>=3.3.2
cmake>=3.8
a C++17 compiler gcc, g++, ...

Build

# make sure to build in a seperate folder
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

For Debian based operating systems you can just use this:

sudo apt-get install flex bison cmake g++ git && git clone https://github.com/AnisBdz/CPU && cd CPU && mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make

Usage

Intel's x86-64 Architecture Simulation
Usage:
    ./app [OPTION...] filename

    -f, --filename arg  Input filename
    -i, --interactive   Enable interactive execution
    -s, --speed arg     Execution speed (instruction per minute) (default: 100)
    -h, --help          Print usage

Examples

examples/add_loop.asm

; example program that calculates the sum of two integer vectors
; it showcases data declaration, function calls and some instructions

section .data
	x dd 1, 2, 3, 4
	y dd 5, 6, 7, 8
	z dd 0, 0, 0, 0


section .text
	; the execution starts here
	call main


	; you should always end your program with the halt instruction
	; or else you program will result in a segmentation falt
	hlt

main:
	; enter
	push ebp
	mov ebp, esp

	mov ecx, 0

	mov esi, x
	mov edi, y
	mov edx, z

	loop:
		mov eax, [esi + ecx * 4]
		add eax, [edi + ecx * 4]
		mov [edx + ecx * 4], eax

		add ecx, 1
		cmp ecx, 4
		jne loop

	; leave
	mov esp, ebp
	pop ebp

	ret

Unit Tests

This project uses Catch2. The tests are available in the tests folder. After building the project, a unit_tests executable will be created.

$ ./unit_tests
===============================================================================
All tests passed (18 assertions in 3 test cases)

Thanks

Special thanks to @ArthurSonzogni for his amazing UI library FTXUI
