Detailed Description

A pcode-based emulator interface.

The interface expects that the underlying emulation engine operates on individual pcode operations as its atomic operation. The interface allows execution stepping through individual pcode operations. The interface allows querying of the current pcode op, the current machine address, and the rest of the machine state.

Member Function Documentation

◆ executeBranch()

virtual void Emulate::executeBranch ( void  )
protectedpure virtual

Standard behavior for a BRANCH.

This routine performs a standard p-code BRANCH operation on the memory state. This same routine is used for CBRANCH operations if the condition has evaluated to true.

Implemented in EmulatePcodeCache, and EmulateMemory.

◆ executeCbranch()

virtual bool Emulate::executeCbranch ( void  )
protectedpure virtual

Check if the conditional of a CBRANCH is true.

This routine only checks if the condition for a p-code CBRANCH is true. It does not perform the actual branch.

Returns
the boolean state indicated by the condition

Implemented in EmulateMemory, and EmulatePcodeOp.

◆ executeCurrentOp()

void Emulate::executeCurrentOp ( void  )

Do a single pcode op step.

This method executes a single pcode operation, the current one (returned by getCurrentOp()). The MemoryState of the emulator is queried and changed as needed to accomplish this.

◆ getHalt()

bool Emulate::getHalt ( void  ) const
inline

Get the halt state of the emulator.

Applications and breakpoints can use this method and its companion setHalt() to terminate and restart the main emulator loop as needed. The emulator itself makes no use of this routine or the associated state variable emu_halted.

Returns
true if the emulator is in a "halted" state.

◆ setHalt()

void Emulate::setHalt ( bool  val)
inline

Set the halt state of the emulator.

Applications and breakpoints can use this method and its companion getHalt() to terminate and restart the main emulator loop as needed. The emulator itself makes no use of this routine or the associated state variable emu_halted.

Parameters
valis what the halt state of the emulator should be set to
