This primarily refines the abstract state propagated to branch
pairs. It was needed on the ARM platform to support the IT blocks
with the changes to the Core representation in macaw-base 0.3.6.
This also includes a few simplifications added and comment
improvements.
`MonadFail` being a forward-compatibility measure, overriding
`Control.Monad.Fail.fail` in GHC versions <= 8.6 doesn't do anything
unless `Control.Monad.Fail.fail` is invoked explicitly (or the importing
module happens to have `-XMonadFailDesugaring` on).
These `getCallTarget` and `doJump` were calling `fail` if they saw an argument
type that we hadn't thought to handle yet. This change turns those errors into
TranslationError statements, allowing macaw to continue exploring code.
This came up recently in a glibc-based example where macaw ended up exploring
unaligned code and creating a strange jump to a far pointer, which doesn't make
much sense in x86_64 mode.
Before, we just discarded them during the translation. They are useful metadata
for generating diagnostics in Crucible, so this commit translates them. They
are no-ops during symbolic evaluation.
To make them truly useful, they need to include the address of the block that
they belong to (their data payload in macaw is just an offset from the start of
a block). This information wasn't available before, so it has to be plumbed
through in macaw-x86.
This is not currently an error, as this function is only used in the definition
of the semantics for push, which doesn't accept a signed immediate value. This
fix is defensive in case someone decides to re-use this helper in another
context where the missing cases could cause a problem.
We were hitting a translation error for imul in another application - this test
case is a reduced example demonstrating the problem.
The root cause was that there were a few missing cases for the new signed
immediate values from flexdis; this caused a fallthrough that mis-identified
signed immediates as non-immediates, triggering an error.
This update renames many of the declarations exported by
Data.Macaw.Memory so that we have more consistent names.
The majority of the existing names are now exported with DEPRECATION
warnings. Some of the symbol declarations that were not used by the
Memory datatype have been moved to other modules.
The minor version of macaw-base has been incremented.
