A REPL for x86-64 assembly language

ASMREPL

This is a REPL for assembly language.

Usage

Install the gem:

$ gem install asmrepl

Then start the repl like this:

$ asmrepl

If you're on macOS, you'll need to start the repl with sudo.

When the REPL starts, it will display all register values and flags:

================== CPU STATE ===================
rax  000000000000000000  r8   0x00007f89d0f04640
rbx  000000000000000000  r9   0x0000000000000004
rcx  0x00007f89d0f04a50  r10  000000000000000000

rflags  0x0000000000000246

gs      000000000000000000

FLAGS: ["PF", "ZF", "IF"]

(rip 0x00000001033a4001)>

Then you can issue commands and inspect register values. Let's write to the rax register and inspect its value:

(rip 0x00000001033a4001)> mov rax, 5
=============== REGISTER CHANGES ===============
rax     000000000000000000 => 0x0000000000000005

(rip 0x00000001033a4009)> rax
0x0000000000000005
(rip 0x00000001033a4009)>

Now let's write to the rbx register and add the two values:

(rip 0x00000001033a4009)> mov rbx, 3
=============== REGISTER CHANGES ===============
rbx     000000000000000000 => 0x0000000000000003

(rip 0x00000001033a4011)> add rax, rbx
=============== REGISTER CHANGES ===============
rax     0x0000000000000005 => 0x0000000000000008
rflags  0x0000000000000246 => 0x0000000000000202

FLAGS: ["IF"]

(rip 0x00000001033a4015)> rax
0x0000000000000008
(rip 0x00000001033a4015)> rbx
0x0000000000000003
(rip 0x00000001033a4015)>

Finally, lets check all values in the CPU:

(rip 0x00000001033a4015)> cpu
