Project Organization

• / - Project root - project files and scripts, include path points here
  • asmjit - AsmJit source code and headers
    • core - Core API, backend independent except relocations
    • support - Support classes and functions
    • arm - ARM specific API, designed to be common for both AArch32 and AArch64
    • a64 - AArch64 specific API, used only by AArch64 backends
    • x86 - X86 specific API, used only by X86 and X64 backends
    • ujit - Universal JIT API
  • asmjit-testing - Unit tests, integration tests, and benchmarks (don't embed in your project)
    • commons - Common utilities shared between tests and benchmarks
    • bench - Benchmarks
    • tests - Unit tests and integration tests
  • db - Instruction database
  • tools - Tools used to re-regenerate generated files (instruction DB, enum strings)

Breaking Changes

Breaking the API is sometimes inevitable, what to do?

• See Breaking Changes Guide, which is now part of AsmJit documentation
• See asmjit tests, they always compile and provide implementation of many use-cases:
  • asmjit_test_emitters.cpp - Tests that demonstrate the purpose of emitters
  • asmjit_test_assembler_x86.cpp - Tests targeting AsmJit's Assembler (x86/x64)
  • asmjit_test_compiler_x86.cpp - Tests targeting AsmJit's Compiler (x86/x64)
  • asmjit_test_instinfo.cpp - Tests that query instruction information
  • asmjit_test_x86_sections.cpp - Multiple sections test
• Visit our Public Chat if you need a quick help
