Detailed Description

Large scale transformations applied to the varnode/op graph.

The base for objects that make changes to the syntax tree of a Funcdata The action is invoked through the apply(Funcdata &data) method. This base class keeps track of basic statistics about how the action is being applied. Derived classes indicate that a change has been applied by incrementing the count field. With OPACTION_DEBUG macro defined, actions support a break point debugging in console mode.
