ab_riscv_primitives/
lib.rs

1//! Composable RISC-V primitives (instructions, registers) and abstractions around them.
2//!
3//! The primitives are designed to be generic over the number of general purpose registers, and a
4//! macro system allows composing base ISA like RV32/RV64 with a desired set of standard or custom
5//! extensions/instructions. Trait abstractions are designed to allow expressing generic APIs
6//! without hardcoding specific types whenever possible.
7//!
8//! The immediate needs dictate the current set of available instructions and extensions. Consider
9//! contributing if you need something not yet available.
10//!
11//! `ab-riscv-interpreter` crate contains a complementary interpreter implementation, but these
12//! primitives are completely independent.
13//!
14//! `ab-riscv-act4-runner` crate in the repository contains a complementary RISC-V Architectural
15//! Certification Tests runner for <https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-arch-test> that ensures
16//! correct implementation.
17//!
18//! Does not require a standard library (`no_std`) or an allocator, never panics, almost 100% of the
19//! API is usable in const.
20//!

53//! * Zkne (version 1.0.1)
54//! * Zknh (version 1.0.1)
55//! * Zkr (version 1.0.1)
56//! * Zvbb (version 1.0.0)
57//! * Zvbc (version 1.0.0)
58//! * ZveXx (version 1.0.0), where `X` is anything allowed by the specification like Zve32x or
59//!   Zve64x
60//! * Zvkb (version 1.0.0)
61//! * Zvl*b (version 1.0.0), where `*` is anything allowed by the specification like Zvl128b or
62//!   Zvl512b
63//!
64//! All extensions except experimental pass all relevant RISC-V Architectural Certification Tests
65//! (ACTs) using the ACT4 framework.
66//!
67//! Any permutation of compatible extensions is supported.
68//!
69//! Experimental extensions may not have ACT4 tests yet and are not guaranteed to work correctly.
70//!
71//! ## Design choices
72//!
73//! This crate was designed with a blockchain use case in mind, though it is in no way tied to any
74//! particular blockchain and is completely general purpose. As a result, the implementation is
75//! designed to be precise and non-ambiguous.
76//!
77//! A few key points:
78//! * anything "reserved" in the specification is considered to be illegal
79//! * anything "optional" in the specification is considered to be illegal
80//! * anything "implementation-defined" in the specification is selected to be the most natural and
81//!   deterministic
82//! * type system is used to make the majority of invalid invariants impossible to represent in code
83//!   and/or decode
84//!
85//! Examples:
86//! * Zve64x extension instructions are purposefully restricted to what it is required to be capable
87//!   of, although it would be cheaper to support the fuller feature set only required by V
88//!   extension
