cambridge-asm's Issues

Add debugger to CLI

• Copy lldb's UI

• If needed, add gdb style and allow switching

• Make my own interface

Eliminate complicated machinery currently needed for indirect addressing by simplifying memory layout

Use BTreeMap<usize, usize>, getting rid of MemEntry and its complicated machinery. Only assign new addresses to memory that has a label. Memory with raw addresses remains untouched.

pointer_structural_match lint will become a hard error soon

This crate triggers the pointer_structural_match lint:

cambridge-asm/lib/src/inst.rs

Line 286 in 587d227

f => Ok(Self::Parent($parent::from_func_ptr(f)?)),

Matching against function pointers is not reliable and will become a hard error once rust-lang/rust#124661 lands, as was decided in rust-lang/rfcs#3535. I recommend comparing with == instead (though that will be just as unreliable).
