x86_64 to ARM64 assembly "compiler", in Rust.

Simply put, this is a project that aims to be able to convert x86_64 assembly (GAS, intel syntax) to ARM64 assembly. This has one major goal: be able to convert already-compiled programs for x86_64 to ARM64 programs.

This is done by disassembling the program, using Vodka to convert it to ARM64 assembly, then reassembling and relinking it. This effectively allows you to run x86_64 programs on ARM64 computers.

You'll need to already have rustup installed. To clone, build, and run the repo, run:

git clone https://github.com/UnmappedStack/vodka
cd vodka
cargo run

This will run a test x86 assembly file, test.S, and try to convert it to ARM64 assembly. Please note that Vodka is not yet ready to be properly used to convert full programs.

Vodka is still in extremely early stages. Realistically, I'm not even particularly sure if it'll be able to get to a usable point, because of issues such as different ABIs etc.

This is mostly a project for fun and for me to dip my toes in ARM64 assembly since at the moment I only know x86_64 assembly, so it may not be perfect.

I see Vodka as a sort of "Wine for ISAs", so I'm following their footpath in naming the project after an alcoholic drink in homage.
