QUESTION
I am playing around with asmjit
and generating assembly. Thereby I noticed that one can not use 64bit constants for instructions (excluding mov
which makes sense).
Because of that, I push 64bit constants to the stack and use them by accessing the stack instead of using the constant as an operand.
Different resources say, it is fine to use memory as an operand for the and
instruction (e.g., [1], [2]).
However, I noticed that the and
instruction does not work as expected. I will give you an example from my code:
ANSWER
Answered 2022-Jan-16 at 15:32Looks like you didn't check for asmjit errors. The docs say there's a
kErrorInvalidImmediate
- Invalid immediate (out of bounds on X86 and invalid pattern on ARM).
The only x86-64 instruction that can use a 64-bit immediate is mov
-immediate to register, the special no-modrm opcode that gives us 5-byte mov eax, 12345
, or 10-byte mov rax, 0x0123456789abcdef
, where a REX.W prefix changes that opcode to look for a 64-bit immediate. See https://www.felixcloutier.com/x86/mov / why we can't move a 64-bit immediate value to memory?
Your title is a red herring. It's nothing to do with having an m64
operand for and
, it's the constant that's the problem. You can verify that by single-stepping the asm with a debugger and checking both operands before the and
, including the one in memory. (It's probably -1
from 0xFFFFFFFF
as an immediate for mov m64, sign_extended_imm32
, which would explain AND not changing the value in R14).
Also disassembly of the JITed machine code should show you what immediate is actually encoded; again a debugger could provide that as you single-step through it.
Use your temporary register for the constant (like mov r14, 0xFFFFFFFFFFFF
), then and reg,mem
to load-and-mask.
Or better, if the target machine you're JITint for has BMI1 andn
, construct the inverted constant once outside a loop with mov r13, ~0xFFFFFFFFFFFF
then inside the loop use andn r14, r13, [r15+32]
which does a load+and without destroying the mask, all with one instructions which can decode to a single uop on Intel/AMD CPUs.
Of if you can't reuse a constant register over a loop, maybe mov reg,imm64
, then push reg
or mov mem,reg
and use that in future AND instructions. Or emit some constant data somewhere near enough to reference with a RIP-relative addressing mode, although that takes a bit more code-size at every and
instruction. (ModRM + 4 byte rel32, vs. ModRM + SIB + 0 or 1 bytes for data on the stack close to RSP).
BTW, if you're just truncating instead of sign-extending, you're also assuming this is address is in the low half of virtual address space (i.e. user-space). That's fine, though. Fun fact: future x86 CPUs (first Sapphire Rapids) will have an optional feature that OSes can enable to transparently ignore the high bits, except for the MSB: LAM = Linear Address Masking. See Intel's future-extensions manual.
So if this feature is enabled with 48-bit masking for user-space, you can skip the AND masking entirely. (If your code makes sure bit 47 matches bit 63; you might want to keep the top bit unmodified or 0 so your code can take advantage of LAM when available to save instructions).
If you were masking to keep the low 32, you could just mov r14d, [r15+32]
to zero-extend the low dword of the value into 64-bit R14. But for keeping the high 48 or 57 bits, you need a mask or BMI2 bzhi
with 48
in a register.
QUESTION
I have a float value at some address in memory, and I want to set an XMM register to that value by using the address. I'm using asmjit.
This code works for a 32 bit build and sets the XMM register v
to the correct value *f
:
ANSWER
Answered 2021-Nov-28 at 17:28The simplest solution is to avoid the absolute address in ptr()
. The reason is that x86/x86_64 requires a 32-bit displacement, which is not always possible for arbitrary user addresses - the displacement is calculated by using the current instruction pointer and the target address - if the difference is outside a signed 32-bit integer the instruction is not encodable (this is an architecture constraint).
Example code:

I am looking at asmdb and the intel docs to try and find out what some of these mean from asmdb:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jan-27 at 11:35You'll want to see Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer Manuals.
"slash x" denotes that part of the instruction is encoded in the opcode (reg) part of the modr/m byte. See Vol 2A Chapter 2 INSTRUCTION FORMAT.
"ib" and "id" mean "immediate byte" and "immediate dword" respectively. You can see all the abbreviations in Vol 2A Appendix A.2 OPCODE MAP / KEY TO ABBREVIATIONS.
QUESTION
I'm trying to build a Python extension using Pybind11, and I believe I set up all libs, linker related objects correctly. However I get this weird linker error! This is my example input
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Sep-14 at 13:33OK, I made a silly mistake! it seems when defining the PYBIND11_MODULE
, the first name, and the name used in setup()
need to be the same as the source file, i.e. PythonManager_Pybind11.cpp
in my case. This why the linker was complaining about the actual object which was the main source file.
Making these changes, now everything builds just fine.
This is how it looks after these minor changes:

QUESTION
I'd like to try the AsmJit library. Building it with 'cmake' and 'make' from source was no problem, the examples it provided were all compiled and executed perfectly. I also did make install
to export the dependency files.
I then wanted to compile my own program using this library, so I retrieved the generated files (the headers and the static lib) to add them to a new project whose the code is a copy/paste of the first example given on the library's website:
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Jun-07 at 14:28You are missing ASMJIT_STATIC
compile-time definition - it has to be defined if you use AsmJit statically. This definition is checked at compile time by AsmJit to setup ASMJIT_API
macro, which expands to a compiler-specific import/export/visibility attribute.
AsmJit documentation (Build Instructions section) says [1]:
Projects that use AsmJit statically must define ASMJIT_STATIC in all compilation units that use AsmJit, otherwise AsmJit would use dynamic library imports in ASMJIT_API decorator. The recommendation is to define this macro across the whole project that uses AsmJit this way.
So in your particular case this should fix the problem:
QUESTION
My project needs to load many modules at runtime, and each one contains many functions with a form similar to the below pseudo code:
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Feb-01 at 09:40Now, a naive implementation would be using a hash map to store a function handle to all of these functions, but hashing would be slow as there are typically 10k functions to search for [...]
Hash tables are O(1) cost to look up. Have you tried this widely used solution to this problem and done performance analysis? Have you tried using different hashing algorithms to reduce the hashing time and collisions?
