asm-differ
Nice differ for assembly code (MIPS and AArch64; should be easy to hack to support other instruction sets).
Dependencies
- Python >= 3.6
python3 -m pip install --user colorama ansiwrap watchdog python-Levenshtein
Usage
Create a file diff-settings.sh
in some directory (see the one in this repo for an example). Then from that directory, run
/path/to/diff.sh [flags] (function|rom addr)
Recommended flags are -mwo
(automatically run make
on source file changes, and include symbols in diff). See --help
for more details.
Tab completion
argcomplete can be optionally installed (with python3 -m pip install argcomplete
) to enable tab completion in a bash shell, completing options and symbol names using the linker map. It also requires a bit more setup:
If invoking the script exactly as ./diff.py
, the following should be added to the .bashrc
according to argcomplete's instructions:
eval "$(register-python-argcomplete ./diff.py)"
If that doesn't work, run register-python-argcomplete ./diff.py
in your terminal and copy the output to .bashrc
.
If setup correctly (don't forget to restart the shell), complete | grep ./diff.py
should output:
complete -o bashdefault -o default -o nospace -F _python_argcomplete ./diff.py
Note for developers or for general troubleshooting: run export _ARC_DEBUG=
to enable debug output during tab-completion, it may show otherwise silenced errors. Use unset _ARC_DEBUG
or restart the terminal to disable.
