@ -5,28 +5,15 @@ Fast and lightweight x86/x86-64 disassembler library.
## Features
- Supports all x86 and x86-64 (AMD64) instructions.
- Supports pretty much all ISA extensions (list incomplete):
- FPU (x87), MMX
- SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, SSE4A, AESNI
- AVX, AVX2, AVX512BW, AVX512CD, AVX512DQ, AVX512ER, AVX512F, AVX512PF, AVX512VL
- ADX, BMI1, BMI2, FMA, FMA4
- Supports all x86 and x86-64 (AMD64) instructions and [extensions](https://github.com/zyantific/zydis/blob/master/include/Zydis/Generated/EnumISAExt.h)
- Optimized for high performance
- No dynamic memory allocation ("malloc")
- Thread-safe by design
- Very small file-size overhead compared to other common disassembler libraries
- [Complete doxygen documentation](https://www.zyantific.com/doc/zydis/index.html)
- No dependencies on platform specific APIs
- Should compile on any platform with a complete libc and CMake
- Tested on Windows, macOS and Linux
## Roadmap
- Language bindings [v2.0 final]
- Tests [v2.0 final]
- Graphical editor for the instruction-database [v2.0 final]
- Implement CMake feature gates. Currently, everything is always included. [v2.0 final]
- Encoding support [v2.1]
- Absolutely no dependencies — [not even libc](https://github.com/zyantific/zydis/blob/develop/CMakeLists.txt#L32)
- Should compile on any platform with a working C99 compiler
- Tested on Windows, macOS, FreeBSD and Linux, both user and kernel mode

## Compilation
## Build
#### Unix
Zydis builds cleanly on most platforms without any external dependencies. You can use CMake to generate project files for your favorite C99 compiler.
```bash
# Linux and OS X
git clone 'https://github.com/zyantific/zydis.git'
cd zydis
mkdir build && cd build

#### Windows
Either use the [Visual Studio 2017 project](https://github.com/zyantific/zydis/tree/master/msvc) or build Zydis using [CMake](https://cmake.org/download/) ([video guide](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fywLDK1OAtQ)).
