Aimed only for Amd64 Windows.

Library requires support for c++23, so you can use:

• Visual Studio 17.6 Preview 6 with /std:c++latest
• build the latest Microsoft STL from sources and specify it for msvc
• clang/clang-cl 17.0.0 with Microsoft STL
• probably should work with mingw 13

• memory signature scanner
• safe vmt hooks (replaces the object's vptr with our vmt)
• hard vmt hooks (replaces original vmt cells)
• memory address class with convenient methods like dereferencing from relative jmp/call/lea instructions and protection checks: is_executable() is_writable()
• all hooks and vmts will be destroyed automatically when unloading you library you may inject and then unload your library multiple times without restarting target process

• find_pattern_in_module should take modules info from PEB rather than from GetModuleHandle and GetModuleInformation
• implement benchmarks for signature scanner
• change scanner searching method from default std searcher to std::boyer_moore_searcher or std::boyer_moore_horspool_searcher
• Add github CI

Library interfaces intended for use with monadic functions.

    const auto net_chan_vmt =
        reutl::find_pattern_in_module<"40 53 56 57 41 56 48 83 EC ?? 45 33 F6 48 8D 71">(
            "networksystem.dll")
            .value_or(std::nullopt)
            .transform([](const reutl::Addr addr) {
                return addr
                    .offset(0x15) //
                    .deref_instr_rel<std::int32_t>(7)
                    .to_ptr();
            });

This is how it looks with resharper c++ helpers

See the example library for complete usage demonstration.

Open Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt/Powershell cd to library root and enter the following commands

  mkdir build
  cd build
  cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF

after that open reult.sln in IDE and build reutl with preferred compiler options

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G Ninja -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF
cmake --build .

# build example
cmake --build . --target nw_hooks

If you are use CMake in your project consider installing reutl as a git submodule.

git submodule add https://github.com/ManulMap/reutl

Then include it into your library.

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.25)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 23)
project(your_project)

add_library(your_lib SHARED dllmain.cc)

add_subdirectory(reutl)
target_link_libraries(your_lib reutl)

In order to build reutl with testing, you need to install the Catch2 testing framework with vcpkg and specify vcpkg toolchain file for cmake

For Visual Studio IDE use Open Folder then open CMakeSettings.json and change CMake toolchain file option for your build profiles.

For command line build use -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE option.

# build with testing (Catch2 must be installed)
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G Ninja -DBUILD_TESTING=ON -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=PathToYourVcpkgToolchainFile\vcpkg.cmake

# run tests
cd test
ctest --extra-verbose
