Behavior change of FormatDetector.Detect() about b2r2 HOT 4 CLOSED

I would be pleased if you add some notes on the docs.

It is already there. See b737224

Thanks for your contribution.

Thanks for the report.

1. We intentionally changed the API to return only a "FileFormat". So I fixed the doc: b737224

2. You are recommended to use BinHandler to do your job. Inside BinHandler, there is a FileInfo field which represents both the ISA and the FileFormat. To create a BinHandler, you can simply do: BinHandler.Init (ISA.DefaultISA, filename) where filename is your binary file path. Note that the first parameter is for a fallback case: it specifies what kind of ISA should be used when the format detection fails.

3. Can I know the reason why you are not using LowUIR?

   but had to dismiss the idea because the project was so integrated into the VEX-IR

Thanks for updating the docs!

I have read the docs and the code but did not know that using ISA.DefaultISA is for a fallback. I will try this method. If you do not mind, I would be pleased if you add some notes on the docs.

Can I know the reason why you are not using LowUIR?

My project was already tightly coupled with VEX-IR. I tried to implement the LowUIR version but had to change most of my model and approach. It was due to the inherent difference between VEX and LowUIR's design choices.

Sorry for adding bug labels, I intended not to put that label but I did not know it was automatically attached to the issue template I used.
