## P-Code Operation Reference

For each possible p-code operation, we give a brief description and provide a table that lists the inputs that must be present and their meaning. We also list the basic syntax for denoting the operation when describing semantics in a processor specification file.

### COPY

Parameters | Description
input0 |  | Source varnode.
output |  | Destination varnode.
Semantic statement |
| `output = input0;`

Copy a sequence of contiguous bytes from anywhere to anywhere. Size of input0 and output must be the same.

### LOAD

Parameters | Description
input0 | (special) | Constant ID of space to load from.
input1 |  | Varnode containing pointer offset to data.
output |  | Destination varnode.
Semantic statement |
| `output = *input1;`
| `output = *[input0]input1;`

This instruction loads data from a dynamic location into the output variable by dereferencing a pointer. The “pointer” comes in two pieces. One piece, input1, is a normal variable containing the offset of the object being pointed at. The other piece, input1, is a constant indicating the space into which the offset applies. The data in input1 is interpreted as an unsigned offset and should have the same size as the space referred to by the ID, i.e. a 4-byte address space requires a 4-byte offset. The space ID is not manually entered by a user but is automatically generated by the p-code compiler. The amount of data loaded by this instruction is determined by the size of the output variable. It is easy to confuse the address space of the output and input1 variables and the Address Space represented by the ID, which could all be different. Unlike many programming models, there are multiple spaces that a “pointer” can refer to, and so an extra ID is required.

It is possible for the addressable unit of an address space to be bigger than a single byte. If the wordsize attribute of the space given by the ID is bigger than one, the offset into the space obtained from input1 must be multiplied by this value in order to obtain the correct byte offset into the space.

### STORE

Parameters | Description
input0 | (special) | Constant ID of space to store into.
input1 |  | Varnode containing pointer offset of destination.
input2 |  | Varnode containing data to be stored.
Semantic statement |
| `*input1 = input2;`
| `*[input0]input1 = input2;`

This instruction is the complement of LOAD. The data in the variable input2 is stored at a dynamic location by dereferencing a pointer. As with LOAD, the “pointer” comes in two pieces: a space ID part, and an offset variable. The size of input1 must match the address space specified by the ID, and the amount of data stored is determined by the size of input2.

Its possible for the addressable unit of an address space to be bigger than a single byte. If the wordsize attribute of the space given by the ID is bigger than one, the offset into the space obtained from input1 must be multiplied by this value in order to obtain the correct byte offset into the space.

### BRANCH

Parameters | Description
input0 | (special) | Location of next instruction to execute.
Semantic statement |
| `goto input0;`

This is an absolute jump instruction. The varnode parameter input0 encodes the destination address (address space and offset) of the jump. The varnode is not treated as a variable for this instruction and does not store the destination. Its address space and offset are the destination. The size of input0 is irrelevant.

Confusion about the meaning of this instruction can result because of the translation from machine instructions to p-code. The destination of the jump is a machine address and refers to the machine instruction at that address. When attempting to determine which p-code instruction is executed next, the rule is: execute the first p-code instruction resulting from the translation of the machine instruction(s) at that address. The resulting p-code instruction may not be attached directly to the indicated address due to NOP instructions and delay slots.

If input0 is constant, i.e. its address space is the constant address space, then it encodes a p-code relative branch. In this case, the offset of input0 is considered a relative offset into the indexed list of p-code operations corresponding to the translation of the current machine instruction. This allows branching within the operations forming a single instruction. For example, if the BRANCH occurs as the pcode operation with index 5 for the instruction, it can branch to operation with index 8 by specifying a constant destination “address” of 3. Negative constants can be used for backward branches.

### CBRANCH

Parameters | Description
input0 | (special) | Location of next instruction to execute.
input1 |  | Boolean varnode indicating whether branch is taken.
Semantic statement |
| `if (input1) goto input0;`

This is a conditional branch instruction where the dynamic condition for taking the branch is determined by the 1 byte variable input1. If this variable is non-zero, the condition is considered true and the branch is taken. As in the BRANCH instruction the parameter input0 is not treated as a variable but as an address and is interpreted in the same way. Furthermore, a constant space address is also interpreted as a relative address so that a CBRANCH can do p-code relative branching. See the discussion for the BRANCH operation.

### BRANCHIND

Parameters | Description
input0 |  | Varnode containing offset of next instruction.
Semantic statement |
| `goto [input0];`

This is an indirect branching instruction. The address to branch to is determined dynamically (at runtime) by examining the contents of the variable input0. As this instruction is currently defined, the variable input0 only contains the offset of the destination, and the address space is taken from the address associated with the branching instruction itself. So execution can only branch within the same address space via this instruction. The size of the variable input0 must match the size of offsets for the current address space. P-code relative branching is not possible with BRANCHIND.

### CALL

Parameters | Description
input0 | (special) | Location of next instruction to execute.
[input1] |  | First parameter to call (never present in raw p-code)
... |  | Additional parameters to call (never present in raw p-code)
Semantic statement |
| `call [input0];`

This instruction is semantically equivalent to the BRANCH instruction. Beware: This instruction does not behave like a typical function call. In particular, there is no internal stack in p-code for saving the return address. Use of this instruction instead of BRANCH is intended to provide a hint to algorithms that try to follow code flow. It indicates that the original machine instruction, of which this p-code instruction is only a part, is intended to be a function call. The p-code instruction does not implement the full semantics of the call itself; it only implements the final branch.

In the raw p-code translation process, this operation can only take input0, but in follow-on analysis, it can take arbitrary additional inputs. These represent (possibly partial) recovery of the parameters being passed to the logical call represented by this operation. These additional parameters have no effect on the original semantics of the raw p-code but naturally hold the varnode values flowing into the call.

### CALLIND

Parameters | Description
input0 |  | Varnode containing offset of next instruction.
[input1] |  | First parameter to call (never present in raw p-code)
... |  | Additional parameters to call (never present in raw p-code)
Semantic statement |
| `call [input0];`

This instruction is semantically equivalent to the BRANCHIND instruction. It does not perform a function call in the usual sense of the term. It merely indicates that the original machine instruction is intended to be an indirect call. See the discussion for the CALL instruction.

As with the CALL instruction, this operation may take additional inputs when not in raw form, representing the parameters being passed to the logical call.

### RETURN

Parameters | Description
input0 |  | Varnode containing offset of next instruction.
[input1] |  | Value returned from call (never present in raw p-code)
Semantic statement |
| `return [input0];`

This instruction is semantically equivalent to the BRANCHIND instruction. It does not perform a return from subroutine in the usual sense of the term. It merely indicates that the original machine instruction is intended to be a return from subroutine. See the discussion for the CALL instruction.

Similarly to CALL and CALLIND, this operation may take an additional input when not in raw form. If input1 is present it represents the value being returned by this operation. This is used by analysis algorithms to hold the value logically flowing back to the parent subroutine.

### PIECE

Parameters | Description
input0 |  | Varnode containing most significant data to merge.
input1 |  | Varnode containing least significant data to merge.
output |  | Varnode to contain resulting concatenation.
Semantic statement |
| Cannot (currently) be explicitly coded

This is a concatenation operator that understands the endianess of the data. The size of input0 and input1 must add up to the size of output. The data from the inputs is concatenated in such a way that, if the inputs and output are considered integers, the first input makes up the most significant part of the output.

### SUBPIECE

Parameters | Description
input0 |  | Varnode containing source data to truncate.
input1 | (constant) | Constant indicating how many bytes to truncate.
output |  | Varnode to contain result of truncation.
Semantic statement |
| `output = input0(input1);`

This is a truncation operator that understands the endianess of the data. Input1 indicates the number of least significant bytes of input0 to be thrown away. Output is then filled with any remaining bytes of input0 up to the size of output. If the size of output is smaller than the size of input0 plus the constant input1, then the additional most significant bytes of input0 will also be truncated.

### INT_EQUAL

Parameters | Description
input0 |  | Floating-point input.
output |  | Varnode result containing result of truncation.
Semantic statement |
| `output = round(input0);`

This is a floating-point rounding operator. The integral value closest to the floating-point value in input0 is stored in output, as a floating-point value. For example, 1.2 rounds to 1.0 and 1.9 rounds to 2.0. FLOAT_ROUND does not produce a twos complement integer output (See the TRUNC operator). Both input0 and output must be the same size. If input0 is NaN, output is set to NaN.

### FLOAT_NAN

Parameters | Description
input0 |  | Floating-point input.
output |  | Boolean varnode containing result of NaN test.
Semantic statement |
| `output = nan(input0);`

This operator returns true in output if input0 is interpreted as NaN. Output must be size 1, and input0 can be any size.

### INT2FLOAT

Parameters | Description
input0 |  | Signed integer input.
output |  | Result containing floating-point conversion.
Semantic statement |
| `output = int2float(input0);`

This is an integer to floating-point conversion operator. Input0 viewed as a signed integer is converted to floating-point format and stored in output. Input0 and output do not need to be the same size. The conversion to floating-point may involve a loss of precision.

### FLOAT2FLOAT

Parameters | Description
input0 |  | Floating-point input varnode.
output |  | Result varnode containing conversion.
Semantic statement |
| `output = float2float(input0);`

This is a floating-point precision conversion operator. The floating-point value in input0 is converted to a floating-point value of a different size and stored in output. If output is smaller than input0, then the operation will lose precision. Input0 and output should be different sizes. If input0 is NaN, then output is set to NaN.

### TRUNC

Parameters | Description
input0 |  | Floating-point input varnode.
output |  | Resulting integer varnode containing conversion.
Semantic statement |
| `output = trunc(input0);`

This is a floating-point to integer conversion operator. The floating-point value in input0 is converted to a signed integer and stored in output using the default twos complement encoding. The fractional part of input0 is dropped in the conversion by rounding towards zero. Input0 and output can be different sizes.
