Error when trying to Write()

acyment

The attached application is a modified version of the MTrace sample. It takes an MSIL assembly as input and instruments it. It basically replaces every call, callvirt & newobj MSIL instructions for a series of others instructions. In some cases, calling Write() to create the instrumented assembly fails.

strange NullReferenceException on instr->SrcOpnd2

Wei Le

The following code throws NullReferenceException at the statement: instr->SrcOpnd2 != nullptr when instr does not have source operands, e.g. instr is ENTERBLOCK ScopeSym267 Phx::IR::Instr^ instr = ...; if (instr->SrcOpnd1 != nullptr) { // do stuff with ...

Make Phase.ShouldExecute public, add event for unit deletion

andy_ayers

(1) Plugins that register pre or post phase event handlers should be able to check if the phase is actually enabled, via the phase's ShouldExecute method. Currently c2 has a bunch of disabled by default phases that plugins could skip over. (2) There is no event for unit deletion; having one would be symmetric with ir/opnd and allow easier extension object cleanup.

C++ bbcount sample has problems

andy_ayers

The bbcount sample gets an unhandled exception when run, because an attempt to safe_cast an instructions' opcode to a Phx::Common::Opcode fails and throws. If that is fixed by changing to dynamic_cast, the sample fails when parsing the name of the runtime library helper because it expects '.' in place of "::" for a class/method separator. If that is fixed, the program runs but does not produce instrumented output because of an inverted branch condition in EmitPhase::Execute -- it should process ...

Visual studio express edition gui-less installation not detected

dispensa

It's impossible to install the CTP with visual studio express edition if the (optional) GUI is not also installed. If that's intentional, it probably ought to be documented better. I tend to code from the command line, so I didn't have it installed. Also, can the PSDK or WDK environments be supported easily?

FileIO exceptions at runtime

Anubhav Kushwaha [MSFT]

I am trying to create an analyser using Phoenix. I use the wizard to create the skeletal structure and build it. When I try to execute the solution it gives me several FileIO exceptions in main() at runtime. Apparently something is breaking in the static initialization but I am unable to figure it out.

Renaming private FunctionSymbol does not update all reference for generic types

sidew

try to do this with generic types ex.: RbTree function.Name = Phx.Name.New(GlobalData.GlobalLifetime, "x"); where function is defined as Phx.Symbols.FunctionSymbol of RbTree.InitializeEmpty(). After the above assign instruction all the reference to InitializeEmpty that are in any RbTree member function aren't updated. This not happens if the type is not a generic type.

Ability to Export Wireless Network Profiles

Navigat0

As the use of wireless networks increases it is particularly relevant to business scenarios, but definately applicable to home users as well to have the ability to backup and/ or migrate wireless profiles. Many OEM and Manufacturer wireless management applications support the ability to export and re-import encrypted wireless network profile information. I think that WZC (Windows wireless management) nneds to include this feature as well.

'Phx.Common.Opcodes.Alloca' opcode not supported by X86

___unique__name

'Phx.Common.Opcodes.Alloca' not implemented for X86 architecture. Using it leads to assertion failures. But is there any normal way to allocate arbitrary byte array on stack? In C# can do this via 'stackalloc type[size]' In Visual C++ it can be done using '_alloca' function.
