Version 3.0-RC2

October 16, 2014

We are glad to announce the Release Candidate 2 of version 3.0 of Capstone disassembly framework!

The source code is available in zip and tar.gz formats, or at tagname 3.0-rc2 in our Github repo.

Please test and feed back via our contact.

NOTE

  • Do use the bindings come with this version, as all the old bindings from version 2.x are incompatible and cannot be run with the 3.0 core.

    For Java/Ocaml/Python bindings, see respective README files under bindings/ directory in the source on how to do fresh-install.


Summary of the important changes of version 3.0-RC2 since 3.0-RC1:

  • New APIs: cs_disasm_iter & cs_malloc. See documentation at http://capstone-engine.org/iteration.html

  • Some optimizations to improve performance of cs_disasm, especially for Windows platform.

  • Properly handle cs_disasm when count is in range [2, 32].

  • Build libraries/tests using XCode project

  • Ocaml binding: major update on interface & some important fixes.

  • ARM: add a new field subtracted to cs_arm_op struct.

  • Mips

    • Remove the ABI-only mode CS_MODE_N64.

    • Get rid of MIPS_REG_PC register.

  • PPC

    • Do not add CR0 to the operand list as it’s not displayed by the disassembly.

    • Print absolute address rather than relative address for some relative branch instructions.

  • X86: properly calculate absolute addresses for relative CALL & JMP - for AT&T syntax.
