Module `ida_bytes`

Contains functions that deal with individual byte characteristics.

Each byte of the disassembled program is represented by a 32-bit value. We will call this value 'flags'. The structure of the flags is here.

You are not allowed to inspect individual bits of flags and modify them directly. Use special functions to inspect and/or modify flags.

Flags are kept in a virtual array file (*.id1). Addresses (ea) are all 32-bit (or 64-bit) quantities.

Global variables

var ALOPT_IGNCLT

if set, don't stop at codepoints that are not part of the current 'culture'; accept all those that are graphical (this is typically used used by user- initiated actions creating string literals.)

var ALOPT_IGNHEADS

don't stop if another data item is encountered. only the byte values will be used to determine the string length. if not set, a defined data item or instruction will truncate the string

var ALOPT_IGNPRINT

if set, don't stop at non-printable codepoints, but only at the terminating character (or not unicode-mapped character (e.g., 0x8f in CP1252))

var ALOPT_MAX4K

if string length is more than 4K, return the accumulated length

var ALOPT_ONLYTERM

only the termination characters can be at the string end. Without this option illegal characters also terminate the string.

def register_data_types_and_formats(formats)

Registers multiple data types and formats at once. To register one type/format at a time use register_custom_data_type/register_custom_data_format

It employs a special table of types and formats described below:

The 'formats' is a list of tuples. If a tuple has one element then it is the format to be registered with dtid=0 If the tuple has more than one element, then tuple[0] is the data type and tuple[1:] are the data formats. For example: many_formats = [

(pascal_data_type(), pascal_data_format()), (simplevm_data_type(), simplevm_data_format()), (makedword_data_format(),), (simplevm_data_format(),)

] The first two tuples describe data types and their associated formats. The last two tuples describe two data formats to be used with built-in data types. The data format may be attached to several data types. The id of the data format is stored in the first data_format_t object. For example: assert many_formats[1][1] != -1 assert many_formats[2][0] != -1 assert many_formats[3][0] == -1
