### Parameter Load/Store
### Features
`avo` provides deconstruction of complex data datatypes into components. For example, load the length of a string argument with:
For demonstrations of `avo` features:
[embedmd]:# (examples/args/asm.go go /.*TEXT.*StringLen/ /Load.*/)
```go
TEXT("StringLen", NOSPLIT, "func(s string) int")
strlen := Load(Param("s").Len(), GP64())
```
Index an array:
[embedmd]:# (examples/args/asm.go go /.*TEXT.*ArrayThree/ /Load.*/)
```go
TEXT("ArrayThree", NOSPLIT, "func(a [7]uint64) uint64")
a3 := Load(Param("a").Index(3), GP64())
```
Access a struct field (provided you have loaded your package with the `Package` function):
[embedmd]:# (examples/args/asm.go go /.*TEXT.*FieldFloat64/ /Load.*/)
```go
TEXT("FieldFloat64", NOSPLIT, "func(s Struct) float64")
f64 := Load(Param("s").Field("Float64"), XMM())
```
Component accesses can be arbitrarily nested:
[embedmd]:# (examples/args/asm.go go /.*TEXT.*FieldArrayTwoBTwo/ /Load.*/)
```go
TEXT("FieldArrayTwoBTwo", NOSPLIT, "func(s Struct) byte")
b2 := Load(Param("s").Field("Array").Index(2).Field("B").Index(2), GP8())
```
Very similar techniques apply to writing return values. See [`examples/args`](examples/args) and [`examples/returns`](examples/returns) for more.
### SHA-1
[SHA-1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-1) is an excellent example of how powerful this kind of technique can be. The following is a (hopefully) clearly structured implementation of SHA-1 in `avo`, which ultimately generates a [1000+ line impenetrable assembly file](examples/sha1/sha1.s).
[embedmd]:# (examples/sha1/asm.go /func main/ /^}/)
```go
func main() {
TEXT("block", 0, "func(h *[5]uint32, m []byte)")
Doc("block SHA-1 hashes the 64-byte message m into the running state h.")
h := Mem{Base: Load(Param("h"), GP64())}
m := Mem{Base: Load(Param("m").Base(), GP64())}
// Store message values on the stack.
w := AllocLocal(64)
W := func(r int) Mem { return w.Offset((r % 16) * 4) }
// Load initial hash.
hash := [5]Register{GP32(), GP32(), GP32(), GP32(), GP32()}
for i, r := range hash {
MOVL(h.Offset(4*i), r)
}
// Initialize registers.
a, b, c, d, e := GP32(), GP32(), GP32(), GP32(), GP32()
for i, r := range []Register{a, b, c, d, e} {
MOVL(hash[i], r)
}
// Generate round updates.
quarter := []struct {
F func(Register, Register, Register) Register
K uint32
}{
{choose, 0x5a827999},
{xor, 0x6ed9eba1},
{majority, 0x8f1bbcdc},
{xor, 0xca62c1d6},
}
for r := 0; r < 80; r++ {
q := quarter[r/20]
// Load message value.
u := GP32()
if r < 16 {
MOVL(m.Offset(4*r), u)
BSWAPL(u)
} else {
MOVL(W(r-3), u)
XORL(W(r-8), u)
XORL(W(r-14), u)
XORL(W(r-16), u)
ROLL(U8(1), u)
}
MOVL(u, W(r))
// Compute the next state register.
t := GP32()
MOVL(a, t)
ROLL(U8(5), t)
ADDL(q.F(b, c, d), t)
ADDL(e, t)
ADDL(U32(q.K), t)
ADDL(u, t)
// Update registers.
ROLL(Imm(30), b)
a, b, c, d, e = t, a, b, c, d
}
// Final add.
for i, r := range []Register{a, b, c, d, e} {
ADDL(r, hash[i])
}
// Store results back.
for i, r := range hash {
MOVL(r, h.Offset(4*i))
}
RET()
Generate()
}
```
This relies on the bitwise functions that are defined as subroutines. For example here is bitwise `choose`; the others are similar.
[embedmd]:# (examples/sha1/asm.go /func choose/ /^}/)
```go
func choose(b, c, d Register) Register {
r := GP32()
MOVL(d, r)
XORL(c, r)
ANDL(b, r)
XORL(d, r)
return r
}
```
