[Capstone-users] Platform problem running Capstone.NET

[Chris J. <ja...@ac...>]

Hello All,


I am trying to use Capstone.NET from my C# program, and I failed just
running the unmodified basic example in Capstone.NET.

Making CapstoneCMD the startup project didn't work and it crashes at
runtime. I am not clear on the readme file.


Here are my questions:

What does X86 version of Capstone 3 mean?  Is this about disassembling to
(target?) but I'm more interested in Arm64, not X86.  Is this about the
machine running the program (host?)?  My PC has a 64 processor, so both
X86_32 and X64 should be executable.  What does bitness mean here? There is
only one version of C# and I build it for X86.


-Capstone.NET alone fails.

-capstone-3.0.5-rc2-win32>cstool.exe alone does NOT work on my machine,

-capstone-3.0.5-rc2-win64>cstool.exe alone seems to work.


-Adding either of 32 or 64 bit DLL ("capstone.dll") into Capstone.NET
fails, because those dll-s don’t do the PInvoke.  Please explain why that
is necessary, I thought the base capstone.dll is only used indirectly from
Gee.External.Capstone.Proxy.dll and specialization is done there?  The
nugget version looks like 2 years old.


I'm not only learning capstone, capstone.net, and the Arm ISA architecture;
I'm also just getting used to visual studio configuration and project
files.  And another question: Could Capstone.NET be built and used with
Mono on Linux?


Thank you for your support,

Chris
