Detailed Description

Functions for decoding instructions.

Typedef Documentation

ZydisDecoder

typedef struct ZydisDecoder_ ZydisDecoder

Defines the ZydisDecoder struct.

ZydisDecoderMode

typedef ZydisU8 ZydisDecoderMode

Defines the ZydisDecoderMode datatype.

Enumeration Type Documentation

ZydisDecoderModes

enum ZydisDecoderModes

Values that represent decoder-modes.

Enumerator
ZYDIS_DECODER_MODE_MINIMAL	Enables minimal instruction decoding without semantic analysis. This mode provides access to the mnemonic, the instruction-length, the effective operand-size, the effective address-width, some attributes (e.g. ZYDIS_ATTRIB_IS_RELATIVE) and all of the information in the raw field of the ZydisDecodedInstruction struct. Operands, most attributes and other specific information (like AVX info) are not accessible in this mode. This mode is NOT enabled by default.
ZYDIS_DECODER_MODE_AMD_BRANCHES	Enables the AMD-branch mode. Intel ignores the operand-size override-prefix (0x66) for all branches with 32-bit immediates and forces the operand-size of the instruction to 64-bit in 64-bit mode. In AMD-branch mode 0x66 is not ignored and changes the operand-size and the size of the immediate to 16-bit. This mode is NOT enabled by default.
ZYDIS_DECODER_MODE_KNC	Enables KNC compatibility-mode. KNC and KNL+ chips are sharing opcodes and encodings for some mask-related instructions. Enable this mode to use the old KNC specifications (different mnemonics, operands, ..). This mode is NOT enabled by default.
ZYDIS_DECODER_MODE_MPX	Enables the MPX mode. The MPX isa-extension reuses (overrides) some of the widenop instruction opcodes. This mode is enabled by default.
ZYDIS_DECODER_MODE_CET	Enables the CET mode. The CET isa-extension reuses (overrides) some of the widenop instruction opcodes. This mode is enabled by default.
ZYDIS_DECODER_MODE_LZCNT	Enables the LZCNT mode. The LZCNT isa-extension reuses (overrides) some of the widenop instruction opcodes. This mode is enabled by default.
ZYDIS_DECODER_MODE_TZCNT	Enables the TZCNT mode. The TZCNT isa-extension reuses (overrides) some of the widenop instruction opcodes. This mode is enabled by default.
ZYDIS_DECODER_MODE_MAX_VALUE	Maximum value of this enum.

Function Documentation

ZydisDecoderDecodeBuffer()

ZYDIS_EXPORT ZydisStatus ZydisDecoderDecodeBuffer	(	const ZydisDecoder *	decoder,
		const void *	buffer,
		ZydisUSize	bufferLen,
		ZydisU64	instructionPointer,
		ZydisDecodedInstruction *	instruction
	)

Decodes the instruction in the given input buffer.

Parameters

decoder	A pointer to the ZydisDecoder instance.
buffer	A pointer to the input buffer.
bufferLen	The length of the input buffer.
instructionPointer	The instruction-pointer.
instruction	A pointer to the ZydisDecodedInstruction struct, that receives the details about the decoded instruction.

Returns

A zydis status code.

ZydisDecoderEnableMode()

ZYDIS_EXPORT ZydisStatus ZydisDecoderEnableMode	(	ZydisDecoder *	decoder,
		ZydisDecoderMode	mode,
		ZydisBool	enabled
	)

Enables or disables the specified decoder-mode.

Parameters

decoder	A pointer to the ZydisDecoder instance.
mode	The decoder mode.
enabled	ZYDIS_TRUE to enable, or ZYDIS_FALSE to disable the specified decoder-mode.

Returns

A zydis status code.

ZydisDecoderInit()

ZYDIS_EXPORT ZydisStatus ZydisDecoderInit	(	ZydisDecoder *	decoder,
		ZydisMachineMode	machineMode,
		ZydisAddressWidth	addressWidth
	)

Initializes the given ZydisDecoder instance.

Parameters

decoder	A pointer to the ZydisDecoder instance.
machineMode	The machine mode.
addressWidth	The address width.

Returns

A zydis status code.
