Detailed Description

Functions that deal with C-like expressions and built-in IDC language.

Functions marked THREAD_SAFE may be called from any thread. No simultaneous calls should be made for the same variable. We protect only global structures, individual variables must be protected manually.

Typedef Documentation

◆ idc_func_t

typedef error_t idaapi idc_func_t(idc_value_t *argv, idc_value_t *r)

Prototype of an external IDC function (implemented in C).

Parameters
argvvector of input arguments. IDA will convert all arguments to types specified by ext_idcfunc_t::args, except for VT_WILD
rreturn value of the function or exception
Returns
0 if ok, all other values indicate error. the error code must be set with set_qerrno():
  • eExecThrow - a new exception has been generated, see 'r'
  • other values - runtime error has occurred

◆ eval_idc_expr()

idaman bool ida_export eval_idc_expr ( idc_value_t rv,
ea_t  where,
const char *  buf,
qstring errbuf = nullptr 
)

Same as eval_expr(), but will always use the IDC interpreter regardless of the currently installed extlang.

◆ compile_idc_snippet()

idaman bool ida_export compile_idc_snippet ( const char *  func,
const char *  text,
qstring errbuf = nullptr,
idc_resolver_t resolver = nullptr,
bool  only_safe_funcs = false 
)

Compile text with IDC statements.

Parameters
funcname of the function to create out of the snippet
texttext to compile
[out]errbufbuffer for the error message
resolvercallback object to get values of undefined variables This object will be called if IDC function contains references to undefined variables. May be nullptr.
only_safe_funcsif true, any calls to functions without EXTFUN_SAFE flag will lead to a compilation error.
Return values
trueok
falseerror, see errbuf

◆ call_idc_func()

idaman bool ida_export call_idc_func ( idc_value_t result,
const char *  fname,
const idc_value_t  args[],
size_t  argsnum,
qstring errbuf = nullptr,
idc_resolver_t resolver = nullptr 
)

Execute an IDC function.

Parameters
[out]resultpointer to idc_value_t to hold the return value of the function. If execution fails, this variable will contain the exception information. Can be nullptr if return value is not required.
fnamefunction name. User-defined functions, built-in functions, and plugin-defined functions are accepted.
argsarray of parameters
argsnumnumber of parameters to pass to 'fname'. This number should be equal to number of parameters the function expects.
[out]errbufbuffer for the error message
resolvercallback object to get values of undefined variables This object will be called if IDC function contains references to undefined variables. May be nullptr.
Return values
trueok
falseerror, see errbuf

◆ exec_idc_script()

THREAD_SAFE bool exec_idc_script ( idc_value_t result,
const char *  path,
const char *  func,
const idc_value_t  args[],
size_t  argsnum,
qstring errbuf = nullptr 
)
inline

Compile and execute IDC function(s) from file.

Parameters
resultptr to idc_value_t to hold result of the function. If execution fails, this variable will contain the exception information. You may pass nullptr if you are not interested in the returned value.
pathtext file containing text of IDC functions
funcfunction name to execute
argsarray of parameters
argsnumnumber of parameters to pass to 'fname' This number should be equal to number of parameters the function expects.
[out]errbufbuffer for the error message
Return values
trueok
falseerror, see errbuf

◆ eval_idc_snippet()

idaman bool ida_export eval_idc_snippet ( idc_value_t result,
const char *  line,
qstring errbuf = nullptr,
idc_resolver_t resolver = nullptr 
)

Compile and execute IDC statements or expressions.

Parameters
resultptr to idc_value_t to hold result of the function. If execution fails, this variable will contain the exception information. You may pass nullptr if you are not interested in the returned value.
linebody of IDC the function
[out]errbufbuffer for the error message
resolvercallback object to get values of undefined variables This object will be called if IDC function contains references to undefined variables. May be nullptr.
Returns
success
Note
see also eval_idc_expr()

◆ setup_lowcnd_regfuncs()

idaman void ida_export setup_lowcnd_regfuncs ( idc_func_t getreg,
idc_func_t setreg 
)

Setup lowcnd callbacks to read/write registers.

These callbacks will be used by the idc engine to read/write registers while calculating low level breakpoint conditions for local debuggers.

◆ get_idptype_and_data()

THREAD_SAFE bool get_idptype_and_data ( int *  vtype,
const void **  vdata,
const idc_value_t v 
)
inline

Extract type & data from the idc_value_t instance that was passed to parse_config_value().

Parameters
vtypepointer to storage that will hold the type (IDPOPT_T)
vdatapointer to storage that contains the value (see IDPOPT_T for what type of data is pointed to.)
vthe value holder
Returns
true in case of success, false if 'v' is of unexpected type

◆ throw_idc_exception()

idaman error_t ida_export throw_idc_exception ( idc_value_t r,
const char *  desc 
)

Create an idc execution exception object.

This helper function can be used to return an exception from C++ code to IDC. In other words this function can be called from idc_func_t() callbacks. Sample usage: if ( !ok ) return throw_idc_exception(r, "detailed error msg");

Parameters
robject to hold the exception object
descexception description
Returns
eExecThrow
