MemSed

MEMory Search and EDit for Linux

Heavily inspired by basic Cheat Engine workflow (search value, make value change, search new value, save address and modify it)

[!WARNING] This project is still a work in progress!
It should work for the most part, but adjust your expectations accordingly.
Check TODO.md for things yet to be implemented.

System Requirements

Linux (other platforms might be supported in the future) with /proc fs
OpenGL 3.0+ capable GPU driver

Building

Build Requirements

Clang
CMake 3.20+
GNU Make
Python 3.10+ (for dear_bindings and GLAD generation)

Build Instructions

git clone -j $(nproc) --recursive https://github.com/Willy-JL/MemSed
cd MemSed
cmake --preset release
cmake --build -j $(nproc) --preset release

The executable will be located at ./build/release/memsed

Development Tips

While developing, it is best to first configure with the debug preset:

cmake --preset debug

Only need to run this (configure step) the first time, and when creating/deleting files

You can specify a target in the cmake build command:

cmake --build -j $(nproc) --preset debug -t run

Perform a clean build by adding --clean-first to the build command too

Quickly start attached to debugger with:

cmake --build -j $(nproc) --preset debug -t gdb

IDE Support

Configuration files are provided for VS Code

You will need to run a full build process atleast once before clangd picks up the compile DB

Press Ctrl+Shift+P and run clangd: Restart language server if things ever go wrong

Project Structure

build/: output and working directory for compilation
build/current/: symlink to build/debug/ or build/release/
lib/: mostly generated code that the project depends on
lib/vendor/: submodules used to generate code in lib/, or compiled as is
resources/: assets used by the program, converted to C code in lib/
src/: code specific to this project
src/process/: platform-specific implementation of basic process primitives
src/thread/: platform-specific implementation of basic thread primitives
everything else in src/ should be fairly platform-agnostic
