Lancelot

intel x86(-64) code analysis library that reconstructs control flow

dependencies

• make
• cmake
• pkg-config

Consider using cranelift during development:

$ rustup component add rustc-codegen-cranelift-preview --toolchain nightly
$ env CARGO_PROFILE_DEV_CODEGEN_BACKEND=cranelift cargo build -Zcodegen-backend

Also consider using mold:

$ mold -run cargo build
# or with cranelift:
$ env CARGO_PROFILE_DEV_CODEGEN_BACKEND=cranelift mold -run cargo build -Zcodegen-backend

If it doesn't work with your (read: Willi's) nix setup, use it just for incremental builds.

maintenance

$ rustup update  # update rust compiler

$ cargo update  # update dependencies, not crossing major versions

$ cargo outdated -x unicorn  # find outdated major version dependencies

because we use an older version of unicorn thats easier to build with cargo, we want to ignore any old dependencies stemming from unicorn.

testing

$ pre-commit run --all-files --hook-stage manual
