Detailed Description

A storage location for a particular Symbol.

Where a Symbol is stored, as a byte address and a size, is of particular importance to the decompiler. This class encapsulates this storage meta-data. A single Symbol split across multiple storage locations is supported by the offset and size fields. The hash field supports dynamic storage, where a Symbol is represented by a constant or a temporary register. In this case, storage must be tied to the particular p-code operators using the value.

A particular memory address does not have to represent the symbol across all code. Storage may get recycled for different Symbols at different points in the code. The uselimit object defines the range of instruction addresses over which a particular memory address does represent a Symbol, with the convention that an empty uselimit indicates the storage holds the Symbol across all code.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ SymbolEntry() [1/3]

SymbolEntry::SymbolEntry ( Symbol * sym )

private

Construct a mapping for a Symbol without an address.

This SymbolEntry is unintegrated. An address or hash must be provided either directly or via restoreXml().

Parameters

sym	is the Symbol this will be a map for

References extraflags, hash, offset, and size.

◆ SymbolEntry() [2/3]

SymbolEntry::SymbolEntry	(	uintb	a,
		uintb	b
	)

Construct given just the offset range.

This constructor is for use with rangemap container. It must be followed by an initialize() call.

Parameters

a	is the first offset covered by the new SymbolEntry
b	is the last offset covered

References addr, Address::getSpace(), and size.

◆ SymbolEntry() [3/3]

SymbolEntry::SymbolEntry	(	Symbol *	sym,
		uint4	exfl,
		uint8	h,
		int4	off,
		int4	sz,
		const RangeList &	rnglist
	)

Construct a dynamic SymbolEntry.

This is used specifically for dynamic Symbol objects, where the storage location is attached to a temporary register or a constant. The main address field (addr) is set to invalid, and the hash becomes the primary location information.

Parameters

sym	is the underlying Symbol
exfl	are the Varnode flags associated with the storage location
h	is the the hash
off	if the offset into the Symbol for this (piece of) storage
sz	is the size in bytes of this (piece of) storage
rnglist	is the set of code addresses where this SymbolEntry represents the Symbol

References addr, extraflags, hash, offset, size, symbol, and uselimit.

Member Function Documentation

◆ getAllFlags()

uint4 SymbolEntry::getAllFlags ( void ) const

inline

Get all Varnode flags for this storage.

Retrieve the (union of) Varnode flags specific to the Symbol and specific to this storage.

Returns: all Varnode flags that apply

◆ getSizedType()

Datatype * SymbolEntry::getSizedType	(	const Address &	inaddr,
		int4	sz
	)		const

Get the data-type associated with (a piece of) this.

Return the data-type that matches the given size and address within this storage. NULL is returned if there is no valid sub-type matching the size.

Parameters

inaddr	is the given address
sz	is the given size (in bytes)

Returns: the matching data-type or NULL

◆ getSubsort()

SymbolEntry::subsorttype SymbolEntry::getSubsort ( void ) const

Get the sub-sort object.

Get data used to sub-sort entries (in a rangemap) at the same address

Returns: the sub-sort object

◆ initialize()

void SymbolEntry::initialize ( const EntryInitData & data )

Fully initialize this.

Assuming the boundary offsets have been specified with the constructor, fill in the rest of the data.

Parameters

data	contains the raw initialization data

◆ inUse()

bool SymbolEntry::inUse ( const Address & usepoint ) const

Is this storage valid for the given code address.

This storage location may only hold the Symbol value for a limited portion of the code.

Parameters

usepoint is the given code address to test

Returns: true if this storage is valid at the given address

◆ printEntry()

void SymbolEntry::printEntry ( ostream & s ) const

Dump a description of this to a stream.

Give a contained one-line description of this storage, suitable for a debug console

Parameters

s	is the output stream

◆ restoreXml()

List::const_iterator SymbolEntry::restoreXml	(	List::const_iterator	iter,
		const AddrSpaceManager *	manage
	)

Restore this from an XML stream.

Given an iterator to children of a <mapsym> tag, restore the storage address (or the hash if the symbol is dynamic) and the uselimit describing the valid range of code addresses, then advance the iterator to the next tag.

Parameters

iter	is the iterator pointing to the address or hash tag
manage	is an address space manager for constructing Address objects

Returns: the advanced iterator

◆ saveXml()

void SymbolEntry::saveXml ( ostream & s ) const

Save this to an XML stream.

This writes tags internal to the <mapsym> tag associated with the Symbol. It outputs the address tag (or the <hash> tag for dynamic symbols) and a <rangelist> tag associated with the uselimit.

Parameters

s	is the output stream

◆ updateType()

bool SymbolEntry::updateType ( Varnode * vn ) const

Update a Varnode data-type from this.

If the Symbol associated with this is type-locked, change the given Varnode's attached data-type to match the Symbol

Parameters

vn	is the Varnode to modify

Returns: true if the data-type was changed
