NAME¶
ESIL - Evaluable Strings Intermediate Language
DESCRIPTION¶
ESIL aims to describe a Forth-like representation for every target CPU opcode semantics. ESIL representations can be evaluated (interpreted) in order to emulate individual instructions.
SYNTAX¶
Each command of an ESIL expression is separated by a comma
- <source0>,<source1>,<operation>
 - <source>,<destination>,<operation>
 - <source_destination>,<operation>
 
BASIC OPERATIONS¶
These operations should be enough to emulate most instructions of any architecture
- =
 - sets the value of the destination to the value of the source
 - +
 - adds the values of source0 and source1 and pushes the result on the esil stack
 - -
 - subtracts the value of source0 from the value of source1 and pushes the result on the esil stack
 
- *
 - multiplies the values of source0 and source1 and pushes the result on the esil stack
 
- /
 - divides the value of source1 by the value of source0
